Analysis
Zimbabwe recorded 0.0194 Mt CO2e for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from power industry (energy) in 2024.
That represents a change of up 2.1% on the previous year and down 27.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from power industry (energy) in Zimbabwe peaked at 0.0361 Mt CO2e in 2011 and was at its lowest, 0.0015 Mt CO2e, in 1982.
Zimbabwe ranks 86th of 194 countries on this measure, 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).
