Analysis
Uganda recorded 0.1683 Mt CO2e for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from industrial combustion (energy) in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
That represents a change of up 0.1% on the previous year and up 49.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from industrial combustion (energy) in Uganda peaked at 0.1683 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.0169 Mt CO2e, in 1980.
Uganda ranks 20th 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).
