Analysis
Italy recorded 0.0313 Mt CO2e for methane (ch4) emissions from industrial processes in 2024. That is the lowest value across all 55 years on record.
That represents a change of down 1.9% on the previous year and down 19.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from industrial processes in Italy peaked at 0.1032 Mt CO2e in 1973 and was at its lowest, 0.0313 Mt CO2e, in 2024.
That places Italy 36th out of 94 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
The long-run direction has been consistently falling across the 55 years of available data.

About this data
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).
