Analysis
In 2024, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from power industry (energy) in Botswana stood at 0.459 Mt CO2e.
That represents a change of up 4.5% on the previous year and down 7.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from power industry (energy) in Botswana peaked at 0.6508 Mt CO2e in 2018 and was at its lowest, 0.0001 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
Botswana ranks 22nd of 194 countries on this measure, 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).
