Nitrous oxides (N₂O) emissions in the United Kingdom (UK) were equivalent to 18.1 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (MtCO₂e) in 2022, dropping 4.2 percent from the previous year, and almost 60 percent from 1990. Nitrous oxide is a potent greenhouse gas with a global warming potential almost 300 times greater than carbon dioxide.
