Analysis
The most recent figure for methane (ch4) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in Belarus is 2.24 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 4.8% on the previous year and down 2.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in Belarus peaked at 2.81 Mt CO2e in 1991 and was at its lowest, 1.38 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Belarus 75th out of 192 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
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 fugitive emissions (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.1.bc Petroleum Refining - Manufacture of Solid Fuels and Other Energy Industries, 1.B.1 Solid Fuels, 1.B.2 Oil and Natural Gas, 5.B. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
