Analysis
Algeria recorded 0.1733 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person for per capita nitrous oxide emissions in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 2.2% on the previous year and down 15.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, per capita nitrous oxide emissions in Algeria peaked at 0.2096 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person in 1972 and was at its lowest, 0.029 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person, in 1870.
That places Algeria 154th out of 201 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the bottom quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
