Analysis

Guinea recorded 0.0152 Mt CO2e for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in 2024.

Compared with earlier readings it is up 12.6% over ten years.

Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in Guinea peaked at 0.0156 Mt CO2e in 2020 and was at its lowest, 0.0004 Mt CO2e, in 1970.

That places Guinea 53rd out of 187 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.

The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

A measure of annual emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from fugitive emissions (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.1.bc Petroleum Refining - Manufacture of Solid Fuels and Other Energy Industries, 1.B.1 Solid Fuels, 1.B.2 Oil and Natural Gas, 5.B. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
