Analysis
The most recent figure for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in Oman is 0.0236 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024.
That represents a change of up 5.4% on the previous year and down 4.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in Oman peaked at 0.1012 Mt CO2e in 1976 and was at its lowest, 0.0157 Mt CO2e, in 1985.
That places Oman 40th out of 187 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
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).
