Analysis
The most recent figure for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from industrial processes (mt co2e) in United Kingdom is 0 Mt CO2e per US$ of GDP, measured in 2024. That is the lowest value across all 55 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 9.7% on the previous year and down 30.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from industrial processes (mt co2e) in United Kingdom peaked at 0 Mt CO2e per US$ of GDP in 1976 and was at its lowest, 0 Mt CO2e per US$ of GDP, in 2024.
That places United Kingdom 181st out of 200 countries 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
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes (Mt CO2e) divided by GDP (current US$), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes (Mt CO2e) ÷ GDP (current US$)
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
- GDP Country official statistics, National Statistical Organizations and/or Central Banks
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.
