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.

Per capita nitrous oxide emissions in the European Union 1990-2022
Per capita nitrous oxide (Nâ‚‚O) emissions in the European Union (EU-27) has been on a mostly downward trend over the past three decades. In 2022, the EU's Nâ‚‚O emissions per capita stood at some **** metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCOâ‚‚e) – a reduction of **** percent in comparison to 1990. Lithuania is the largest per capita emitter of Nâ‚‚O in the European Union.Ìý
