Analysis
North America recorded 0 Mt CO2e per person for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from industrial processes (mt co2e) in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 2.9% on the previous year and down 9.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from industrial processes (mt co2e) in North America peaked at 0 Mt CO2e per person in 1973 and was at its lowest, 0 Mt CO2e per person, in 2020.
That places North America 2nd out of 47 groups with data for 2024, putting it in the top 10%.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

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.
