Analysis
France recorded 1.14 Mt CO2e for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from transport (energy) in 2024.
That represents a change of down 0.2% on the previous year and down 7.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from transport (energy) in France peaked at 1.27 Mt CO2e in 2017 and was at its lowest, 0.7353 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places France 15th out of 194 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top 10%.
The long-run direction has been consistently rising across the 55 years of available data.

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).
