Analysis
In 2024, nitrous oxide emissions in Israel stood at 2.56 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents.
The figure is down 0.7% on the previous year and up 3.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide emissions in Israel peaked at 2.69 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2007 and was at its lowest, 73,152 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
That places Israel 111th 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.
