Analysis
Indonesia recorded 70.98 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents for nitrous oxide emissions in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 0.9% on the previous year and up 13.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide emissions in Indonesia peaked at 71.73 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2020 and was at its lowest, 857,827 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
That places Indonesia 7th out of 201 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top 10%.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
