Analysis
The most recent figure for methane (ch4) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in Ethiopia is 18.3 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
The figure is up 0.2% on the previous year and up 33.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in Ethiopia peaked at 18.3 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 4.24 Mt CO2e, in 1971.
That places Ethiopia 28th out of 192 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 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).
