Analysis

Ecuador recorded 0.2678 Mt CO2e for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from transport (energy) in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.

The figure is up 2.3% on the previous year and up 37.0% over ten years.

Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from transport (energy) in Ecuador peaked at 0.2678 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.0103 Mt CO2e, in 1970.

That places Ecuador 39th out of 194 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.

The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
