Annual nitrous oxide emissions in Canada 1990-2022
Nitrous oxide (Nâ‚‚O) emissions in Canada were equivalent to 44.6 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (GtCOâ‚‚e) in 2022, an increase of four percent from the previous year. Canada's annual Nâ‚‚O emissions have risen by more than 15 percent since the turn of the century. Nâ‚‚O is a potent greenhouse gas with a far greater warming potential than COâ‚‚ and has a lifetime of more than 100 years. It is primarily emitted from agricultural processes.
