Analysis
In 2024, nitrous oxide emissions in Albania stood at 710,292 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents.
That represents a change of down 15.0% on the previous year and down 39.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide emissions in Albania peaked at 1.50 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 1989 and was at its lowest, 44,037 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
That places Albania 144th out of 201 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
