Analysis
Venezuela recorded 32.46 Mt CO2e for methane (ch4) emissions from agriculture in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 0.6% on the previous year and down 2.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from agriculture in Venezuela peaked at 33.91 Mt CO2e in 2009 and was at its lowest, 14.4 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Venezuela 28th out of 201 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
The long-run direction has been consistently rising across the 55 years of available data.

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).
