Analysis

The most recent figure for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from transport (energy) in Cape Verde is 0.0058 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024.

Compared with earlier readings it is up 3.6% on the previous year and up 13.7% over ten years.

Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from transport (energy) in Cape Verde peaked at 0.0072 Mt CO2e in 2017 and was at its lowest, 0.0001 Mt CO2e, in 1986.

That places Cape Verde 160th 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.
