Methane (CH4) emissions from Power Industry (Energy) in Lower middle income, 1970–2024
Source: EDGAR (Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research) Community GHG Database, Joint Research Centre (JRC) - European Commission. Measured in Mt CO2e.
Analysis
In 2024, methane (ch4) emissions from power industry (energy) in Lower middle income stood at 1.5 Mt CO2e.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 3.3% on the previous year and up 50.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from power industry (energy) in Lower middle income peaked at 1.59 Mt CO2e in 2022 and was at its lowest, 0.0367 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Lower middle income 20th out of 46 groups with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
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).
