Analysis
In 2024, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Oman stood at 1.21 Mt CO2e. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
That represents a change of up 1.5% on the previous year and up 21.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Oman peaked at 1.21 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.1228 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Oman 125th out of 203 countries with data for 2024, putting it 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 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).
