Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Power Industry (Energy) in Austria, 1970–2024
Source: EDGAR (Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research) Community GHG Database, Joint Research Centre (JRC) - European Commission. Measured in Mt CO2e.
Analysis
In 2024, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from power industry (energy) in Austria stood at 0.1012 Mt CO2e.
The figure is up 0.5% on the previous year and down 6.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from power industry (energy) in Austria peaked at 0.1198 Mt CO2e in 2012 and was at its lowest, 0.0146 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Austria 46th out of 194 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from electricity and heat generation (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 code 1.A.1.a. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
