Analysis
Indonesia recorded 0.4578 Mt CO2e for methane (ch4) emissions from power industry (energy) in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
The figure is up 2.0% on the previous year and up 347.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from power industry (energy) in Indonesia peaked at 0.4578 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.0023 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Indonesia 7th 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).
