Analysis
Benin recorded 0.0028 Mt CO2e for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from industrial combustion (energy) in 2024.
That represents a change of down 9.7% on the previous year and up 55.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from industrial combustion (energy) in Benin peaked at 0.0031 Mt CO2e in 2023 and was at its lowest, 0.0001 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Benin 127th out of 193 countries with data for 2024, putting it 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 industrial combustion (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 code 1.A.2 Manufacturing Industries and Construction. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
