Analysis
The most recent figure for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from power industry (energy) in Malawi is 0.0013 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024.
That represents a change of down 85.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from power industry (energy) in Malawi peaked at 0.0102 Mt CO2e in 2018 and was at its lowest, 0 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Malawi 142nd 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).
