Analysis
Morocco recorded 0.0965 Mt CO2e for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from power industry (energy) in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 8.6% on the previous year and up 43.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from power industry (energy) in Morocco peaked at 0.116 Mt CO2e in 2022 and was at its lowest, 0.0024 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Morocco 48th 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).
