Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions (total) excluding LULUCF in Vietnam, 1970–2024
Source: EDGAR (Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research) Community GHG Database, Joint Research Centre (JRC) - European Commission. Measured in Mt CO2e.
Analysis
Vietnam recorded 26.09 Mt CO2e for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
That represents a change of up 4.1% on the previous year and up 28.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Vietnam peaked at 26.09 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 4.59 Mt CO2e, in 1971.
That places Vietnam 19th out of 203 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top 10%.
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).
