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.
Cumulative nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions in Japan from 1850 to 2022
(in million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent)
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.
