Analysis
The most recent figure for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from power industry (energy) in Sweden is 0.2623 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 0.1% on the previous year and down 28.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from power industry (energy) in Sweden peaked at 0.6347 Mt CO2e in 1996 and was at its lowest, 0.0098 Mt CO2e, in 1975.
Sweden ranks 32nd 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).
