Source: EDGAR (Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research) Community GHG Database, Joint Research Centre (JRC) - European Commission. Measured in Mt CO2e.
Analysis
The most recent figure for methane (ch4) emissions from industrial combustion (energy) in Vanuatu is 0.0001 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
That represents a change of unchanged over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from industrial combustion (energy) in Vanuatu peaked at 0.0001 Mt CO2e in 1999 and was at its lowest, 0 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Vanuatu 163rd 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).
