Analysis
In 2024, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from power industry (energy) in Greenland stood at 0.0004 Mt CO2e.
Compared with earlier readings it is unchanged over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from power industry (energy) in Greenland peaked at 0.0005 Mt CO2e in 2004 and was at its lowest, 0 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
Greenland ranks 161st of 194 countries on this measure, 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).
