Analysis

Lower middle income recorded 13.3 Mt CO2e for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from transport (energy) in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.

Compared with earlier readings it is up 5.0% on the previous year and up 20.4% over ten years.

Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from transport (energy) in Lower middle income peaked at 13.3 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 1.36 Mt CO2e, in 1970.

That places Lower middle income 17th out of 45 groups 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.

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).
