Analysis
Rwanda recorded 0.0114 Mt CO2e for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in 2024.
That represents a change of up 25.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in Rwanda peaked at 0.0312 Mt CO2e in 1989 and was at its lowest, 0.007 Mt CO2e, in 1998.
Rwanda ranks 63rd of 187 countries on this measure, 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).
