Analysis
The most recent figure for methane (ch4) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in Papua New Guinea is 1.92 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024.
That represents a change of up 6.5% on the previous year and up 108.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in Papua New Guinea peaked at 3.05 Mt CO2e in 1998 and was at its lowest, 0.0037 Mt CO2e, in 1972.
That places Papua New Guinea 80th 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).
