Analysis

Niger recorded 0.0031 Mt CO2e for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.

Compared with earlier readings it is up 34.8% over ten years.

Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in Niger peaked at 0.0031 Mt CO2e in 2023 and was at its lowest, 0 Mt CO2e, in 1970.

That places Niger 103rd 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.
