Analysis
In 2024, methane (ch4) emissions from power industry (energy) in Bangladesh stood at 0.0703 Mt CO2e.
The figure is up 3.1% on the previous year and up 86.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from power industry (energy) in Bangladesh peaked at 0.0725 Mt CO2e in 2022 and was at its lowest, 0.0005 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Bangladesh 36th out of 194 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 electricity and heat generation (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 code 1.A.1.a. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
