Global share of nitrous oxide emissions 2022, by sector

Published by Ian Tiseo, Nov 15, 2023

In 2022, almost 70 percent of global nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions were linked to the agriculture sector. A major source of agriculture-related N2O emissions is the use of synthetic fertilizers.

N2O is a highly potent greenhouse gas, with a global warming potential (GWP) almost 300 times greater than carbon dioxide over a 100-year period.
