Japan has released nitrous oxide emissions equivalent to more than 2.1 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (GtCO₂e) since 1850. Although nitrous oxide accounts for only a small share of Japan's annual greenhouse gas emissions, this potent gas has a global warming potential 300 times greater than carbon dioxide.

Exclusive Premium Statistic
To access all Premium Statistics, you need a paid Statista Account
Figures were calculated by Statista according to the values provided by the source.
Includes nitrous oxide emissions from fossil fuels, industry and agricultural sources.
Nitrous oxide emissions are measured in metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO₂e), so are weighted for its 100-year global warming potential value.
