Analysis
In 2023, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from industrial processes (mt co2e) in Greenland stood at 0 Mt CO2e per square kilometre.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 3.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from industrial processes (mt co2e) in Greenland peaked at 0 Mt CO2e per square kilometre in 2004 and was at its lowest, 0 Mt CO2e per square kilometre, in 1997.
That places Greenland 202nd out of 203 countries with data for 2023, 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
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes (Mt CO2e) divided by Land area (sq. km), 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) ÷ Land area (sq. km)
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
- Land area FAOSTAT, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)
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.
