Figures were calculated by ÌÇÐÄÆÆ½â°æ according to the values provided by the source.
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 its 100-year global warming potential value.

Cumulative nitrous oxide emissions in China 1850-2021
From 1850 to 2021, China released nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions equivalent to ** billion metric tons of carbon dioxide (GtCO2e). The East Asian country is the world's third-largest historical emitter of nitrous oxide, behind the United States and the European Union.
