Analysis
The most recent figure for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from power industry (energy) in Cameroon is 0.0027 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024.
The figure is down 6.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from power industry (energy) in Cameroon peaked at 0.0073 Mt CO2e in 2006 and was at its lowest, 0.0001 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Cameroon 127th out of 194 countries with data for 2024, putting it 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 electricity and heat generation (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 code 1.A.1.a. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
