Global nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from shipping totaled 18.5 million metric tons in 2022. NOx emissions from shipping roughly doubled between 1990 and 2008, to a peak of 26.14 million metric tons. Since then, NOx emissions from shipping have fallen by more than 29 percent. NOx air pollution is harmful to human health and the environment.
