Analysis
Ireland recorded 0.0002 Mt CO2e for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in 2024.
That represents a change of down 33.3% on the previous year and down 66.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in Ireland peaked at 0.0009 Mt CO2e in 1986 and was at its lowest, 0 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Ireland 139th 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.

About this data
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).
