Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions (total) excluding LULUCF in Belgium, 1991–2024
Source: EDGAR (Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research) Community GHG Database, Joint Research Centre (JRC) - European Commission. Measured in % change from 1990.
Analysis
The most recent figure for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Belgium is -0.7%, measured in 2024.
The figure is down 212.1% on the previous year and down 104.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Belgium peaked at 23.4% in 1999 and was at its lowest, -5.5%, in 1992.
That places Belgium 151st out of 203 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.

About this data
Change of emissions (as %) of current year with respect to emissions in baseline year 1990 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). Negative values indicate that the emission level for that year is lower than the emissions level in 1990.
