In 2023, nitrous oxide emissions in Germany were recorded at 22.45 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent. The forecast for the following years shows a consistent decline: 21.17 in 2024, 19.99 in 2025, 18.83 in 2026, 17.68 in 2027, and 16.54 by 2028. This reflects a clear downward trend in emissions, indicating a strong commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The year-on-year variations from 2024 to 2028 are reflective of a continuous decline. Over the last two years in this forecast, the trend remains consistently downward. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the forecast period is negative, illustrating an average annual decrease in emissions.
Looking ahead, it will be important to watch for policy changes and technological innovations in emissions reduction and energy efficiency. Additionally, observing changes in agricultural practices and industrial processes, which are significant contributors to nitrous oxide emissions, will be crucial in assessing future emission trends in Germany.
