Analysis

Congo recorded 0.0195 Mt CO2e for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from transport (energy) in 2024.

That represents a change of up 1.6% on the previous year and down 59.4% over ten years.

Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from transport (energy) in Congo peaked at 0.048 Mt CO2e in 2014 and was at its lowest, 0.0023 Mt CO2e, in 1997.

That places Congo 132nd out of 194 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.

The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
