Analysis
Equatorial Guinea recorded 0.0003 Mt CO2e for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from power industry (energy) in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
That represents a change of up 50.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from power industry (energy) in Equatorial Guinea peaked at 0.0003 Mt CO2e in 2016 and was at its lowest, 0 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Equatorial Guinea 165th out of 194 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.

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).
