Analysis

Chile recorded 1.05 Mt CO2e for methane (ch4) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in 2024.

The figure is up 1.7% on the previous year and down 53.7% over ten years.

Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in Chile peaked at 9.58 Mt CO2e in 1982 and was at its lowest, 0.8952 Mt CO2e, in 2021.

That places Chile 100th out of 192 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.

The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
