2. By convention, shares of emissions are assessed against net emissions for a given year, i.e. the net CO₂ equivalent gasses added to the atmosphere in that year. However, it would also be valid to compare against gross emissions, excluding removals of CO₂ from the atmosphere from land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF). On that basis the share of nitrous oxide to gross emissions in 2020 was 5.7 per cent.
