Analysis
Chad recorded 1.0% for share of global nitrous oxide emissions in 2024. That is the highest value across all 175 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 3.5% on the previous year and up 53.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, share of global nitrous oxide emissions in Chad peaked at 1.0% in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.2%, in 1870.
