Analysis
Denmark recorded 0.1091 Mt CO2e for methane (ch4) emissions from power industry (energy) in 2024.
That represents a change of down 0.3% on the previous year and up 29.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from power industry (energy) in Denmark peaked at 0.1258 Mt CO2e in 2021 and was at its lowest, 0.012 Mt CO2e, in 1974.
Denmark ranks 28th of 194 countries on this measure, 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).
