Lithuania had the largest per capita nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions in the European Union (EU-27) in 2022, 2.05 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO₂e). Ireland followed with N₂O emissions amounting to 1.81 tCO₂e per capita that year. In contrast, Malta had the lowest N₂O emissions per capita amongst all EU member states, at just 0.09 tCO₂e. The average per capita N₂O emissions in the EU-27 stood at 0.54 tCO₂e in 2022.
Largest per capita nitrous oxide (N₂O) emitters in the European Union (EU-27) in 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.
