Analysis

In 2024, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from transport (energy) in Nepal stood at 0.0813 Mt CO2e. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.

The figure is up 4.6% on the previous year and up 105.8% over ten years.

Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from transport (energy) in Nepal peaked at 0.0813 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.0015 Mt CO2e, in 1970.

That places Nepal 85th 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.
