Analysis
In 2024, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from transport (energy) in Nigeria stood at 0.6115 Mt CO2e.
That represents a change of up 3.9% on the previous year and up 40.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from transport (energy) in Nigeria peaked at 0.6152 Mt CO2e in 2022 and was at its lowest, 0.0268 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Nigeria 26th out of 194 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
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).
