Analysis
In 2024, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from industrial combustion (energy) in Republic of Korea stood at 0.2036 Mt CO2e.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 2.6% on the previous year and down 24.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from industrial combustion (energy) in Republic of Korea peaked at 0.2873 Mt CO2e in 2017 and was at its lowest, 0.0342 Mt CO2e, in 1972.
That places Republic of Korea 17th out of 193 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top 10%.
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).
