The 2024 data on global nitrous oxide emissions (excluding land use, land-use change, and forestry) shows the United States as the leading emitter, followed by Russia and Mexico. From 2023, the United States experienced a 1.76% decline, while Russia increased by 2.3%. The European countries, mostly saw reductions, with Germany at -3.26% and France at -2.4%. Notably, smaller emitters like New Zealand and Greece had slight declines. The compounded annual growth rate over the last five years reveals a broad trend toward reduced emissions across most of the countries.
Looking ahead, watch for the continued development of emission reduction technologies and international climate agreements, which might influence emission trends. The potential implementation of more stringent regulations and advancements in sustainable practices could see further decreases in nitrous oxide emissions, especially in industrialized nations.
