Analysis
In 2024, methane (ch4) emissions from power industry (energy) in France stood at 0.1903 Mt CO2e.
The figure is down 5.6% on the previous year and up 19.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from power industry (energy) in France peaked at 0.2159 Mt CO2e in 2022 and was at its lowest, 0.0448 Mt CO2e, in 1983.
That places France 17th out of 194 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top 10%.
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).
