Analysis
The most recent figure for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from transport (energy) in Afghanistan is 0.0498 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 5.1% on the previous year and up 83.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from transport (energy) in Afghanistan peaked at 0.0615 Mt CO2e in 2011 and was at its lowest, 0.002 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
Afghanistan ranks 104th of 195 countries on this measure, in the middle of the range.
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 the transportation sector (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.3.a Civil Aviation, 1.A.3.b_noRES Road Transportation no resuspension, 1.A.3.c Railways, 1.A.3.d Water-borne Navigation, 1.A.3.e Other Transportation. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
