Analysis
World recorded 8.5 Mt CO2e for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 0.9% on the previous year and up 4.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in World peaked at 8.55 Mt CO2e in 2013 and was at its lowest, 2.9 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places World 1st out of 47 groups with data for 2024, putting it in the top 10%.
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).
