Analysis
The most recent figure for ippu — emissions (co2eq) from n2o in Australia is 3,657 kt, measured in 2023.
That represents a change of down 5.5% on the previous year and up 10.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, ippu — emissions (co2eq) from n2o in Australia peaked at 3,922 kt in 2020 and was at its lowest, 315.35 kt, in 1961.
That places Australia 11th out of 199 countries with data for 2023, putting it in the top 10%.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
The FAOSTAT domain on Emissions Totals summarizes the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions disseminated in the FAOSTAT Climate Change domains of emissions from agrifood systems. Data are computed following the Tier 1 methods of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Guidelines for National greenhouse gas (GHG) Inventories (IPCC, 1996; 1997; 2000; 2002; 2006; 2014). Emissions from other economic sectors as defined by the IPCC are also disseminated in the domain for completeness.
