Analysis
European Union recorded -1.12 % change on previous year for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from industrial processes (mt co2e) in 2024.
That represents a change of up 79.9% on the previous year and down 11,426.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from industrial processes (mt co2e) in European Union peaked at 8.75 % change on previous year in 1973 and was at its lowest, -28.79 % change on previous year, in 1998.
That places European Union 41st out of 47 groups 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.

How this figure is calculated
The year-on-year percentage change in Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes (Mt CO2e). Computed from consecutive annual observations; years either side of a gap are skipped rather than bridged.
Computed from
- Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes EDGAR (Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research) Community GHG Database, Joint Research Centre (JRC) - European Commission
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
