Analysis
In 2024, nitrous oxide emissions in Niger stood at 14.07 million. That is the highest value across all 175 years on record.
The figure is up 4.1% on the previous year and up 55.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide emissions in Niger peaked at 14.07 million in 2024 and was at its lowest, 170,676, in 1850.
That places Niger 42nd out of 201 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
