Analysis
Russia recorded 52.57 Mt CO2e for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from agriculture in 2024.
The figure is up 2.1% on the previous year and up 40.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from agriculture in Russia peaked at 68.07 Mt CO2e in 1987 and was at its lowest, 33.54 Mt CO2e, in 2006.
That places Russia 5th out of 201 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top 10%.
The long-run direction has been consistently falling across the 55 years of available data.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the agricultural sector. This includes emissions from livestock (IPCC 2006 codes 3.A.1 (enteric fermentation, 3.a.2 (manure management) and crops (IPCC 2006 codes 3.C.1 Emissions from biomass burning, 3.C.2 Liming, 3.C.3 Urea application, 3.C.4 Direct N2O Emissions from managed soils, 3.C.5 Indirect N2O Emissions from managed soils, 3.C.6 Indirect N2O Emissions from manure management, 3.C.7 Rice cultivations). The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
