Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) in Sri Lanka, 1970–2024
Source: EDGAR (Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research) Community GHG Database, Joint Research Centre (JRC) - European Commission. Measured in Mt CO2e.
Analysis
In 2024, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in Sri Lanka stood at 0 Mt CO2e. That is the lowest value across all 55 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 100.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in Sri Lanka peaked at 0.0028 Mt CO2e in 2008 and was at its lowest, 0 Mt CO2e, in 2018.
That places Sri Lanka 152nd out of 187 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the bottom 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).
