Analysis
Denmark recorded 0.2017 Mt CO2e for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from waste in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 13.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from waste in Denmark peaked at 0.2045 Mt CO2e in 2019 and was at its lowest, 0.0913 Mt CO2e, in 1973.
That places Denmark 78th out of 203 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
The long-run direction has been consistently rising across the 55 years of available data.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the waste sector. This includes emissions from solid waste (IPCC 2006 codes 4.A Solid Waste Disposal, 4.B Biological Treatment of Solid Waste, 4.C Incineration and Open Burning of Waste) and wastewater treatment (IPCC 2006 code 4.D Wastewater Treatment and Discharge). The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
