Analysis
In 2024, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from industrial processes (mt co2e) in Greenland stood at 0 Mt CO2e per person.
That represents a change of up 0.1% on the previous year and up 5.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from industrial processes (mt co2e) in Greenland peaked at 0 Mt CO2e per person in 2006 and was at its lowest, 0 Mt CO2e per person, in 1971.

How this figure is calculated
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes (Mt CO2e) divided by Population, total, matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes (Mt CO2e) ÷ Population, total
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
- Population, total World Population Prospects, United Nations (UN)
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.
