Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Power Industry (Energy) in Egypt, 1970–2024
Source: EDGAR (Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research) Community GHG Database, Joint Research Centre (JRC) - European Commission. Measured in Mt CO2e.
Analysis
Egypt recorded 0.0727 Mt CO2e for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from power industry (energy) in 2024.
That represents a change of up 7.4% on the previous year and up 10.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from power industry (energy) in Egypt peaked at 0.079 Mt CO2e in 2015 and was at its lowest, 0.0025 Mt CO2e, in 1972.
That places Egypt 52nd 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).
