Analysis
The most recent figure for nitrous oxide emissions in Venezuela is 11.11 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, measured in 2024.
The figure is down 2.4% on the previous year and down 17.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide emissions in Venezuela peaked at 13.63 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2008 and was at its lowest, 167,671 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
That places Venezuela 51st 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.
