Per capita nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions in the European Union (EU-27) have been on a mostly downward trend over the past three decades. In 2021, the EU's N₂O emissions per capita stood at some 0.52 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO₂e) – a reduction of approximately 32 percent in comparison to 1990. Lithuania is the largest per capita emitter of N₂O in the European Union.

Exclusive Premium Statistic
To access all Premium Statistics, you need a paid Statista Account
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.
