Analysis

The most recent figure for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from transport (energy) in Kuwait is 0.179 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.

The figure is up 6.4% on the previous year and up 47.6% over ten years.

Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from transport (energy) in Kuwait peaked at 0.179 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.0156 Mt CO2e, in 1991.

That places Kuwait 50th 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.
