Analysis
Pakistan recorded 0.0134 Mt CO2e for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 1.5% on the previous year and down 6.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in Pakistan peaked at 0.0167 Mt CO2e in 2001 and was at its lowest, 0.0038 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Pakistan 56th out of 187 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
The long-run direction has been consistently rising across the 55 years of available data.

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).
