Analysis
Bolivia recorded 0.0251 Mt CO2e for methane (ch4) emissions from industrial combustion (energy) in 2024.
That represents a change of up 1.2% on the previous year and down 3.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from industrial combustion (energy) in Bolivia peaked at 0.0288 Mt CO2e in 2017 and was at its lowest, 0.0027 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Bolivia 56th out of 193 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 industrial combustion (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 code 1.A.2 Manufacturing Industries and Construction. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
