Analysis
In 2024, nitrous oxide emissions in Oman stood at 1.42 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents. That is the highest value across all 175 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 2.0% on the previous year and up 23.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide emissions in Oman peaked at 1.42 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2024 and was at its lowest, 9,243 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
That places Oman 132nd 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.
