Analysis
In 2024, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from power industry (energy) in IDA total stood at 1.98 Mt CO2e.
That represents a change of down 0.6% on the previous year and up 223.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from power industry (energy) in IDA total peaked at 2.44 Mt CO2e in 2018 and was at its lowest, 0.082 Mt CO2e, in 1972.
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).
