Analysis

The most recent figure for methane (ch4) emissions from industrial combustion (energy) in Botswana is 0.0012 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024.

Compared with earlier readings it is down 20.0% over ten years.

Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from industrial combustion (energy) in Botswana peaked at 0.0029 Mt CO2e in 2007 and was at its lowest, 0 Mt CO2e, in 1970.

That places Botswana 137th 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.

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).
