Per capita nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions in the European Union (EU-27) has been on a mostly downward trend over the past three decades. In 2022, the EU's N₂O emissions per capita stood at some 0.54 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO₂e) – a reduction of 32.5 percent in comparison to 1990. Lithuania is the largest per capita emitter of N₂O in the European Union.
Per capita nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions in the European Union (EU-27) from 1990 to 2022
(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.
