On-Farm Energy Nitrous Oxide Emissions by Country

1961–2019 data with projections to 2050 provides country-level estimates of nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from on-farm energy use, measured in kilotonnes. The dataset is part of the FAOSTAT Emissions Totals domain, computed using IPCC Tier 1 guidelines and updated annually. It is disseminated by the Country Climate and Development Report (CCDR) organization.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in N2O emissions from agricultural energy use by country and year from 1961 to 2019.
• Compare projected emissions for 2030 and 2050 against historical data for scenario modeling.
• Aggregate emissions data by country to assess regional contributions to agricultural greenhouse gases.
• Apply IPCC AR5 global warming potentials to convert N2O kilotonne values into CO2 equivalents.

Strengths

• Global country coverage for the period 1961–2019.
• Includes forward-looking projections for 2030 and 2050.
• Data computed using standardized IPCC Tier 1 methodology.
• Updated annually by the FAOSTAT system.

Limitations

• Specific row and column counts are unknown.
• Projections to 2030 and 2050 are not available for all emission categories.
• Methodology is at Tier 1, which may lack country-specific emission factors.
