Analysis
Sudan recorded 103.1% for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in 2024.
That represents a change of up 2.6% on the previous year and up 13.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Sudan peaked at 105.5% in 2018 and was at its lowest, 2.6%, in 1991.
That places Sudan 52nd out of 203 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
The long-run direction has been consistently rising across the 34 years of available data.

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.
