Nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions in Germany were equivalent to 23 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (MtCO₂e) in 2023. Annual nitrous oxide emissions in Germany have fallen by roughly 55 percent since 1990. Human activities that produce nitrous oxide include agriculture, fuel combustion, and wastewater management.
While not as abundant as carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide is a powerful greenhouse gas with a global warming potential almost 300 times greater than carbon dioxide over a 100-year timescale.
