Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy) in IDA total, 1970–2024
Source: EDGAR (Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research) Community GHG Database, Joint Research Centre (JRC) - European Commission. Measured in Mt CO2e.
Analysis
In 2024, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from transport (energy) in IDA total stood at 5.07 Mt CO2e.
That represents a change of up 3.6% on the previous year and up 21.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from transport (energy) in IDA total peaked at 5.12 Mt CO2e in 2022 and was at its lowest, 0.5137 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
IDA total ranks 30th of 46 groups 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).
