Analysis
Singapore recorded 0.0073 Mt CO2e for methane (ch4) emissions from agriculture in 2024.
That represents a change of down 5.2% on the previous year and down 20.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from agriculture in Singapore peaked at 0.1546 Mt CO2e in 1973 and was at its lowest, 0.0052 Mt CO2e, in 1998.
That places Singapore 183rd out of 201 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the bottom quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of methane (CH4), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the agricultural sector. This includes emissions from livestock (IPCC 2006 codes 3.A.1 (enteric fermentation, 3.a.2 (manure management) and crops (IPCC 2006 codes 3.C.1 Emissions from biomass burning, 3.C.7 Rice cultivations). The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
