Abstract
Abstract An increasing concentration of nitrous oxide (N 2 O) in the global atmosphere can perturb the ecological balance, affecting the climate and human life. South Asia, one of the world’s most populous regions, is a hotspot for N 2 O emission. Although agriculture traditionally dominated the region, economic activities are rapidly shifting towards industry and energy services. These activites may become the largest emitters of N 2 O in future. Yet, few attempts have been made to estimate long-term direct N 2 O emission from fuel combustion for the different energy-consuming sectors in the South Asian region. Therefore, the present study developed a comprehensive sectoral N 2 O emission inventory for South Asian countries for the time period of…
