Analysis
In 2024, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from power industry (energy) in Congo stood at 0.0018 Mt CO2e.
That represents a change of up 800.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from power industry (energy) in Congo peaked at 0.0019 Mt CO2e in 2022 and was at its lowest, 0 Mt CO2e, in 1983.
That places Congo 138th out of 194 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
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).
