Analysis

Mauritius recorded 0.0135 Mt CO2e for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from transport (energy) in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.

That represents a change of up 1.5% on the previous year and up 37.8% over ten years.

Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from transport (energy) in Mauritius peaked at 0.0135 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.001 Mt CO2e, in 1970.

Mauritius ranks 140th of 194 countries on this measure, in the middle of the range.

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