Analysis
In 2024, methane (ch4) emissions from power industry (energy) in Nicaragua stood at 0.0186 Mt CO2e. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
That represents a change of up 37.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from power industry (energy) in Nicaragua peaked at 0.0186 Mt CO2e in 2023 and was at its lowest, 0.0003 Mt CO2e, in 1973.
That places Nicaragua 68th out of 194 countries 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).
