Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) in Greenland, 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 industrial combustion (energy) in Greenland stood at 0.0001 Mt CO2e.
That represents a change of unchanged over five years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from industrial combustion (energy) in Greenland peaked at 0.0004 Mt CO2e in 2011 and was at its lowest, 0 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Greenland 174th out of 193 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 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).
