Analysis
In 2024, methane (ch4) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in Liberia stood at 1.03 Mt CO2e. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
That represents a change of up 28.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in Liberia peaked at 1.03 Mt CO2e in 2023 and was at its lowest, 0.0119 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Liberia 102nd 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.

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).
