Analysis
In 2024, methane (ch4) emissions from power industry (energy) in Congo stood at 0.0052 Mt CO2e.
That represents a change of up 2.0% on the previous year and up 477.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from power industry (energy) in Congo peaked at 0.0056 Mt CO2e in 2022 and was at its lowest, 0 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
Congo ranks 96th of 194 countries on this measure, in the middle of the range.
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).
