In 18 New Zealand's gross greenhouse gas emissions were 7 million tonnes of CO 2 e, 240 percent higher than 1990 and 10 percent lower than 17 In 18 Gross GHG emissions were mainly made up of carbon dioxide (445 percent), methane (435 percent), and nitrous oxide (96 percent) Carbon dioxide emissions were mainly produced by transport (470 download data Carbon dioxide (CO 2) is an important heattrapping (greenhouse) gas, which is released through human activities such as deforestation and burning fossil fuels, as well as natural processes such as respiration and volcanic eruptions The first graph shows atmospheric CO 2 levels measured at Mauna Loa Observatory, Hawaii, in recent years, withNitrous oxide (N 2 O) is a strong greenhouse gas, that is mainly produced from agricultural activities (eg from the use of synthetic and organic fertilizers to grow crops) This first interactive chart here shows per capita emissions of nitrous oxide each year This is measured in 'carbon dioxide equivalents'
