Includes nitrous oxide emissions from fossil fuels, industry and agricultural sources. Nitrous oxide emissions are measured in metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (COâ‚‚e), so are weighted for their 100-year global warming potential value.

Nitrous oxide emissions in the European Union 1990-2023
Emissions of nitrous oxide in the European Union (EU-27) decreased by almost ** percent between 1990 and 2023, to *** million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCOâ‚‚e). Nitrous oxide has a global warming potential*** times greater than carbon dioxide.Â
