Analysis

In 2024, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from transport (energy) in Namibia stood at 0.023 Mt CO2e.

The figure is up 0.9% on the previous year and up 25.7% over ten years.

Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from transport (energy) in Namibia peaked at 0.0246 Mt CO2e in 2016 and was at its lowest, 0.0007 Mt CO2e, in 1970.

That places Namibia 127th 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.
