Analysis
Indonesia recorded 0.2504 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person for per capita nitrous oxide emissions in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 1.7% on the previous year and up 3.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, per capita nitrous oxide emissions in Indonesia peaked at 0.2655 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person in 2018 and was at its lowest, 0.0371 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person, in 1870.
That places Indonesia 118th out of 201 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
