Analysis
The most recent figure for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from industrial combustion (energy) in Nigeria is 0.208 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024.
That represents a change of down 1.3% on the previous year and up 9.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from industrial combustion (energy) in Nigeria peaked at 0.3374 Mt CO2e in 2012 and was at its lowest, 0.0224 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
Nigeria ranks 16th of 193 countries on this measure, 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).
