Analysis
Greenland recorded 0.0003 Mt CO2e for methane (ch4) emissions from power industry (energy) in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is unchanged over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from power industry (energy) in Greenland peaked at 0.0003 Mt CO2e in 2004 and was at its lowest, 0 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
Greenland ranks 159th of 194 countries on this measure, in the bottom 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).
