Analysis
Turkmenistan recorded 7.20 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents for nitrous oxide emissions in 2024. That is the highest value across all 175 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 3.6% on the previous year and up 18.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide emissions in Turkmenistan peaked at 7.20 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2024 and was at its lowest, 174,506 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
Turkmenistan ranks 68th of 201 countries on this measure, in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
