Analysis

In 2024, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from transport (energy) in Ethiopia stood at 0.0917 Mt CO2e.

That represents a change of up 1.8% on the previous year and up 99.8% over ten years.

Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from transport (energy) in Ethiopia peaked at 0.0943 Mt CO2e in 2019 and was at its lowest, 0.0053 Mt CO2e, in 1970.

That places Ethiopia 78th 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.
