Analysis

Kuwait recorded 0.0202 Mt CO2e for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in 2024.

That represents a change of down 1.5% on the previous year and down 19.2% over ten years.

Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in Kuwait peaked at 0.1038 Mt CO2e in 1971 and was at its lowest, 0.0082 Mt CO2e, in 1982.

That places Kuwait 48th 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.
