Figures were calculated by ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°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 the European Union 1850-2022
Since 1850, the countries the make up the European Union (EU-27) have released nitrous oxide emissions equivalent to **** billion metric tons of carbon dioxide (GtCO2e). Cumulative nitrous oxide emissions in the EU had already surpassed **** GtCO2 by 1990, but since then a further *** GtCO2 have been released. The European Union is the largest historical emitter of nitrous oxide globally. Nitrous oxide emissions are primarily caused by agricultural processes.
