Analysis
Tonga recorded 0.0001 Mt CO2e for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from power industry (energy) in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
The figure is unchanged over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from power industry (energy) in Tonga peaked at 0.0001 Mt CO2e in 1988 and was at its lowest, 0 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
Tonga ranks 184th of 194 countries on this measure, in the bottom 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).
