Analysis
In 2024, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from industrial processes in Chile stood at 0.8933 Mt CO2e.
The figure is down 11.1% on the previous year and down 20.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from industrial processes in Chile peaked at 1.77 Mt CO2e in 2008 and was at its lowest, 0.2354 Mt CO2e, in 1975.
Chile ranks 59th of 203 countries on this measure, in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from industrial processes including IPCC 2006 codes 2.A.1 Cement production, 2.A.2 Lime production, 2.A.3 Glass Production, 2.A.4 Other Process Uses of Carbonates, 2.B Chemical Industry, 2.C Metal Industry, 2.D Non-Energy Products from Fuels and Solvent Use, 2.E Electronics Industry, 2.F Product Uses as Substitutes for Ozone Depleting Substances, 2.G Other Product Manufacture and Use and 5.A Indirect N2O emissions from the atmospheric deposition of nitrogen in NOx and NH3). The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
