Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Waste in Somalia, 1970–2024
Source: EDGAR (Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research) Community GHG Database, Joint Research Centre (JRC) - European Commission. Measured in Mt CO2e.
Analysis
Somalia recorded 0.1243 Mt CO2e for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from waste in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 2.0% on the previous year and up 21.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from waste in Somalia peaked at 0.1243 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.0197 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
Somalia ranks 101st 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).
