Analysis
The most recent figure for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from waste in Sudan is 0.7824 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
The figure is up 2.3% on the previous year and up 23.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from waste in Sudan peaked at 0.7824 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0 Mt CO2e, in 2000.
Sudan ranks 31st of 203 countries on this measure, in the top 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 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).
