Analysis
Afghanistan recorded 0 Mt CO2e per square kilometre for methane (ch4) emissions from industrial combustion (energy) (mt) in 2023. That is the highest value across all 54 years on record.
The figure is up 8.1% on the previous year and up 34.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from industrial combustion (energy) (mt) in Afghanistan peaked at 0 Mt CO2e per square kilometre in 2011 and was at its lowest, 0 Mt CO2e per square kilometre, in 1970.
That places Afghanistan 141st out of 193 countries with data for 2023, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

How this figure is calculated
Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) (Mt CO2e) divided by Land area (sq. km), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) (Mt CO2e) ÷ Land area (sq. km)
Computed from
- Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) EDGAR (Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research) Community GHG Database, Joint Research Centre (JRC) - European Commission
- Land area FAOSTAT, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
