Analysis
Egypt recorded 19.37 Mt CO2e for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in 2024.
That represents a change of down 0.3% on the previous year and down 3.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Egypt peaked at 21.24 Mt CO2e in 2016 and was at its lowest, 6.28 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Egypt 25th out of 203 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
The long-run direction has been consistently rising across the 55 years of available data.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the agriculture, energy, waste, and industrial sectors, excluding LULUCF.. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
