This statistic shows the amount of nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions attributable to buses, coaches, trams and similar public urban transport in the United Kingdom (UK) from 1990 to 2017, in thousand metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e). It shows that N2O emissions from this sector decreased from 1990 to 2005, falling from 55,600 metric tons of CO2e in 1990, to 18,700 metric tons of CO2e in 2005. Emissions increased again from 2005 onwards, totaling 49,500 metric tons of CO2e in 2017.
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from public transport in the United Kingdom (UK) from 1990 to 2017
(in 1,000 metric tons of CO2e*)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a major greenhouse gas and air pollutant.
Public urban transportation includes buses, coaches, trams, and similar forms of transport. Sector classification is based on the NACE code, which is the industry standard classification system for economic activities in the European Community.
