Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions (total) excluding LULUCF in Niger, 1970–2024
Source: EDGAR (Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research) Community GHG Database, Joint Research Centre (JRC) - European Commission. Measured in Mt CO2e.
Analysis
In 2024, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Niger stood at 10.02 Mt CO2e.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 2.9% on the previous year and up 45.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Niger peaked at 10.11 Mt CO2e in 2022 and was at its lowest, 1.92 Mt CO2e, in 1973.
Niger ranks 45th 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 agriculture, energy, waste, and industrial sectors, excluding LULUCF.. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
