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 2022, by country
Lithuania had the largest per capita nitrous oxide (Nâ‚‚O) emissions in the European Union (EU-27) in 2022, **** metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCOâ‚‚e). Ireland followed with Nâ‚‚O emissions amounting to **** tCOâ‚‚e per capita that year. In contrast, Malta had the lowest Nâ‚‚O emissions per capita amongst all EU member states, at just **** tCOâ‚‚e. The average per capita Nâ‚‚O emissions in the EU-27 stood at **** tCOâ‚‚e in 2022.Â
