# Nitrous oxide emissions in Spain

Nitrous oxide emissions in Spain was 72.21 thousand tonnes of nitrous oxide in 2025 (provisional). Source: European Commission, Joint Research Centre.

- Indicator id: `n2o_emissions`
- Place id: `es`
- Unit: thousand tonnes of nitrous oxide
- Definition: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emitted in the year, in thousand tonnes of nitrous oxide, mostly from fertilised agricultural soils and manure, plus industry (nitric and adipic acid), fuel combustion and wastewater, as estimated by EDGAR. EDGAR estimates every country with the same IPCC methods and international activity statistics, so countries can be compared, but the values differ from the inventories countries report themselves. Emissions from land use, land use change and forestry and from large scale biomass burning (savannah and forest fires) are not included. The latest two years are fast track estimates from proxy statistics, replaced in later releases, and are marked provisional.
- Note: Tonnes of the gas itself, not CO2 equivalent: EDGAR weights a tonne of nitrous oxide as 265 tonnes of CO2 over 100 years (IPCC AR5). EDGAR counts Andorra with Spain, Monaco with France, San Marino and the Holy See with Italy, and Liechtenstein with Switzerland. It reports Israel and Palestine, Sudan and South Sudan, and Serbia and Montenegro together, so those countries have no value here. Each release revises past years.
