Analysis

Iceland recorded 0 Mt CO2e for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from power industry (energy) in 2024. That is the lowest value across all 55 years on record.

Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from power industry (energy) in Iceland peaked at 0.0001 Mt CO2e in 1970 and was at its lowest, 0 Mt CO2e, in 1982.

That places Iceland 189th 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.

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).
