Analysis

The most recent figure for methane (ch4) emissions from industrial processes in IBRD only is 10.85 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.

Compared with earlier readings it is up 2.0% on the previous year and up 27.1% over ten years.

Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from industrial processes in IBRD only peaked at 10.85 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 1.37 Mt CO2e, in 1983.

That places IBRD only 3rd out of 46 groups 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 processes including IPCC 2006 codes 2.A.1 Cement production, 2.A.2 Lime production, 2.A.3 Glass Production, 2.A.4 Other Process Uses of Carbonates, 2.B Chemical Industry, 2.C Metal Industry, 2.D Non-Energy Products from Fuels and Solvent Use, 2.E Electronics Industry, 2.F Product Uses as Substitutes for Ozone Depleting Substances, 2.G Other Product Manufacture and Use and 5.A Indirect N2O emissions from the atmospheric deposition of nitrogen in NOx and NH3. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
