Analysis
In 2024, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from power industry (energy) in Small states stood at 0.4187 Mt CO2e. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 0.6% on the previous year and up 418.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from power industry (energy) in Small states peaked at 0.4187 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.029 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Small states 41st out of 46 groups 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).
