Analysis

Benin recorded 0.0452 Mt CO2e for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from transport (energy) in 2024.

The figure is up 3.9% on the previous year and up 17.7% over ten years.

Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from transport (energy) in Benin peaked at 0.0727 Mt CO2e in 2018 and was at its lowest, 0.0013 Mt CO2e, in 1992.

That places Benin 104th 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.
