Analysis
In 2024, methane (ch4) emissions from industrial processes in Singapore stood at 0.0803 Mt CO2e.
The figure is up 6.4% on the previous year and up 13.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from industrial processes in Singapore peaked at 0.0835 Mt CO2e in 2019 and was at its lowest, 0.0073 Mt CO2e, in 1984.
That places Singapore 21st out of 94 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top 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 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).
