Methane (CH4) emissions from Power Industry (Energy) in Least developed countries: UN classification, 1970–2024
Source: EDGAR (Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research) Community GHG Database, Joint Research Centre (JRC) - European Commission. Measured in Mt CO2e.
Analysis
Least developed countries: UN classification recorded 0.14 Mt CO2e for methane (ch4) emissions from power industry (energy) in 2024.
That represents a change of up 0.6% on the previous year and up 53.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from power industry (energy) in Least developed countries: UN classification peaked at 0.1422 Mt CO2e in 2022 and was at its lowest, 0.0063 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Least developed countries: UN classification 39th out of 47 groups with data for 2024, putting it 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).
