Analysis
Kenya recorded 0.0051 Mt CO2e for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from power industry (energy) in 2024.
The figure is down 33.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from power industry (energy) in Kenya peaked at 0.009 Mt CO2e in 2009 and was at its lowest, 0.0017 Mt CO2e, in 1972.
That places Kenya 112th 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).
