Analysis

In 2024, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from transport (energy) in Libya stood at 0.1834 Mt CO2e. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.

Compared with earlier readings it is up 5.0% on the previous year and up 8.2% over ten years.

Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from transport (energy) in Libya peaked at 0.1834 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.0046 Mt CO2e, in 1971.

Libya ranks 49th of 194 countries on this measure, in the top quarter.

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