Analysis

Romania recorded 2.52 Mt CO2e for methane (ch4) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in 2024. That is the lowest value across all 55 years on record.

That represents a change of down 4.0% on the previous year and down 29.3% over ten years.

Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in Romania peaked at 13.2 Mt CO2e in 1977 and was at its lowest, 2.52 Mt CO2e, in 2024.

Romania ranks 70th of 192 countries on this measure, in the middle of the range.

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