Since 1850, Mexico has released more than 3.8 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (GtCO2e) worth of nitrous oxide into the atmosphere. More than 70 percent of Mexico's historical nitrous oxide emissions have been released since 1990. Although less abundant than other greenhouse gases, nitrous oxide is roughly 300 times more potent than carbon dioxide and is an important contributor to climate change.
Cumulative nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions in Mexico 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.
