Analysis
In 2024, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from building (energy) in Euro area stood at 5.11 Mt CO2e.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 0.5% on the previous year and up 10.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from building (energy) in Euro area peaked at 6.02 Mt CO2e in 1988 and was at its lowest, 4.63 Mt CO2e, in 2014.
That places Euro area 35th out of 47 groups with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
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 building sector (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.4 Residential and other sectors, 1.A.5 Non-Specified. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
