Analysis
Low income recorded 6.49 Mt CO2e for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from building (energy) in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 0.4% on the previous year and up 20.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from building (energy) in Low income peaked at 6.49 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 1.64 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Low income 29th out of 46 groups with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
The long-run direction has been consistently rising 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).
