Analysis

The most recent figure for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from power industry (energy) in Namibia is 0.0001 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024.

Compared with earlier readings it is down 66.7% over five years.

Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from power industry (energy) in Namibia peaked at 0.0009 Mt CO2e in 1994 and was at its lowest, 0 Mt CO2e, in 1970.

That places Namibia 184th 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).
