Analysis
In 2024, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from waste in Chad stood at 0.2284 Mt CO2e. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
The figure is up 1.9% on the previous year and up 27.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from waste in Chad peaked at 0.2284 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.0344 Mt CO2e, in 1973.
Chad ranks 72nd of 203 countries on this measure, in the middle of the range.
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 waste sector. This includes emissions from solid waste (IPCC 2006 codes 4.A Solid Waste Disposal, 4.B Biological Treatment of Solid Waste, 4.C Incineration and Open Burning of Waste) and wastewater treatment (IPCC 2006 code 4.D Wastewater Treatment and Discharge). The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
