Analysis
French Polynesia recorded 0.0058 Mt CO2e for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from transport (energy) in 2024.
The figure is up 5.5% on the previous year and up 11.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from transport (energy) in French Polynesia peaked at 0.0089 Mt CO2e in 1999 and was at its lowest, 0.0005 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
French Polynesia ranks 160th 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 the transportation sector (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.3.a Civil Aviation, 1.A.3.b_noRES Road Transportation no resuspension, 1.A.3.c Railways, 1.A.3.d Water-borne Navigation, 1.A.3.e Other Transportation. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
