Analysis
Hungary recorded 0.5609 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person for per capita nitrous oxide emissions in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 5.5% on the previous year and down 2.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, per capita nitrous oxide emissions in Hungary peaked at 1.3 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person in 1982 and was at its lowest, 0.0665 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person, in 1850.
That places Hungary 43rd out of 201 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
