Analysis
The most recent figure for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from industrial combustion (energy) in Luxembourg is 0.0016 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024. That is the lowest value across all 55 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 48.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from industrial combustion (energy) in Luxembourg peaked at 0.0147 Mt CO2e in 1978 and was at its lowest, 0.0016 Mt CO2e, in 2023.
That places Luxembourg 139th 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).
