Analysis

The most recent figure for methane (ch4) emissions from industrial combustion (energy) in Uganda is 0.2833 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.

That represents a change of up 212.7% over ten years.

Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from industrial combustion (energy) in Uganda peaked at 0.2833 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.0148 Mt CO2e, in 1980.

That places Uganda 10th out of 193 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top 10%.

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).
