In 2023, Japan's nitrous oxide emissions totaled 19 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent. From 2024 to 2028, forecasted emissions show a steady decline from 18.48 to 17.19 million metric tons, representing a year-on-year decrease of approximately 1.76% on average. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is negative, indicating a consistent reduction in emissions.
Future trends to watch for include technological advancements in emission reduction, policy changes, and shifts in industrial practices that may accelerate the decrease in nitrous oxide emissions. Additionally, global environmental agreements could further influence Japan's emission targets and strategies.
