Nitrous oxide emissions attributable to the construction industry presented a trend of growth throughout the years, despite some oscillation. Between 1990 and 2018, figures increased by roughly 26 thousand metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent, peaking in 2017 at 113.2 thousand metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent. In 2018, the United Kingdom construction industry recorded 109.1 thousand metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent of nitrous oxide emissions.
