Analysis
Singapore recorded 0.0001 Mt CO2e per square kilometre for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from waste (mt co2e), per square in 2023. That is the highest value across all 54 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 1.7% on the previous year and up 23.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from waste (mt co2e), per square in Singapore peaked at 0.0001 Mt CO2e per square kilometre in 2023 and was at its lowest, 0 Mt CO2e per square kilometre, in 1970.
That places Singapore 3rd out of 203 countries with data for 2023, putting it in the top 10%.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

How this figure is calculated
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Waste (Mt CO2e) divided by Land area (sq. km), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Waste (Mt CO2e) ÷ Land area (sq. km)
Computed from
- Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Waste EDGAR (Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research) Community GHG Database, Joint Research Centre (JRC) - European Commission
- Land area FAOSTAT, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
