Analysis
The most recent figure for methane (ch4) emissions from industrial combustion (energy) in Maldives is 0.0003 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is unchanged over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from industrial combustion (energy) in Maldives peaked at 0.0003 Mt CO2e in 2014 and was at its lowest, 0 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Maldives 157th out of 193 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the bottom quarter.
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).
