Lithuania had the largest per capita nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions in the European Union (EU-27) in 2021, 2.01 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO₂e). Ireland followed with N₂O emissions amounting to 1.74 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 0.52 tCO₂e in 2021.

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.
