Understanding
Nitrous Oxide
N2O
Nitrous Oxide (N₂O), commonly known as “laughing gas,” appears as a colorless, odorless gas with a slightly sweet taste. It consists of two nitrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, which forms its chemical formula. Although nitrous oxide does not react strongly under normal conditions, it can decompose into nitrogen (N₂) and oxygen (O₂) when exposed to elevated temperatures or a catalyst. Additionally, while it remains non-flammable, nitrous oxide supports combustion by providing extra oxygen to flames. In the atmosphere, nitrous oxide acts as a potent greenhouse gas and significantly contributes to ozone layer depletion. Furthermore, it has a global warming potential (GWP) 298 times greater than that of carbon dioxide (CO₂) over a 100-year period, highlighting its importance as an environmental concern.

Managing N2O In
Industrial
Environments
Agriculture & Livestock
The production of synthetic fertilizers, especially ammonium nitrate (a key component in fertilizers), is a significant source of N2O emissions. N2O is released during the manufacturing of ammonium nitrate, which is produced by combining ammonia with nitric acid.
Chemical
N2O is released during the production of various chemicals, including nitric acid and adipic acid. During adipic acid production, which used in the production of nylon, is another major industrial process where N2O is released as a byproduct, particularly during the oxidation of cyclohexane.
Oil & Gas
The production of certain petrochemicals, such as synthetic rubber, and the refining of hydrocarbons can lead to the release of N2O during reactions involving nitrogen oxides (NOx) or through incomplete combustion.
Landfills & Compost
N2O is produced by bacteria in the soil or in sewage treatment plants during the denitrification process, where nitrate (NO₃⁻) is reduced to nitrogen gases under low-oxygen conditions.
Automotive
N2O is used to boost engine performance, and when burned, it can release nitrogen oxides (NOx), which may contribute to nitrous oxide emissions.
