Analysis
The most recent figure for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from power industry (energy) in Nepal is 0 Mt CO2e, measured 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 Nepal peaked at 0.0002 Mt CO2e in 1997 and was at its lowest, 0 Mt CO2e, in 1980.
That places Nepal 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.

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).
