China's per capita nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions stood at 0.32 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO₂e) in 2021. When compared to 1990 levels, N₂O emissions per capita in the East Asian country had increased by roughly 23 percent. China is the world's largest N₂O emitter.
Per capita nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions in China from 1990 to 2021
(in metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent)
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.
