Methane (CH4) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) in French Polynesia, 1970–2024
Source: EDGAR (Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research) Community GHG Database, Joint Research Centre (JRC) - European Commission. Measured in Mt CO2e.
Analysis
French Polynesia recorded 0.0016 Mt CO2e for methane (ch4) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
The figure is up 6.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in French Polynesia peaked at 0.0016 Mt CO2e in 2017 and was at its lowest, 0 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
French Polynesia ranks 177th of 192 countries on this measure, 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 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).
