Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions (total) excluding LULUCF in IDA only, 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
IDA only recorded 109.2% for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in 2024. That is the highest value across all 34 years on record.
The figure is up 4.5% on the previous year and up 45.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in IDA only peaked at 109.2% in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.3%, in 1991.
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.
