Analysis
In 2024, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Chad stood at 726.5%. That is the highest value across all 34 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 5.3% on the previous year and up 93.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Chad peaked at 726.5% in 2024 and was at its lowest, 60.0%, in 1991.
That places Chad 3rd 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
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.
