Would any of this work for Nitrous Oxide?
From what I've read, Nitrous Oxide is about over 200 times as worse as Carbon Dioxide, even if only a little bit of it gets into the atmosphere; it lasts for a very long time when it does, though. Methane would also be a problem.

Nitrous Oxide can generally be controlled by not creating conditions that produce it when burning fossil fuels. Modern cars and power plants are supposed to produce very little N2O. It is greenhouse gas with the fourth largest total warming effect in the atmosphere after water vapour, carbon dioxide and methane. Methane is not released by power plants as it burns well and releasing it means you're wasting money.
