Analysis
The most recent figure for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from power industry (energy) in Mexico is 0.2327 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024.
That represents a change of down 4.7% on the previous year and down 17.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from power industry (energy) in Mexico peaked at 0.2913 Mt CO2e in 2017 and was at its lowest, 0.0145 Mt CO2e, in 1971.
That places Mexico 34th out of 194 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top 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).
