Analysis

Niger recorded 0.0005 Mt CO2e for methane (ch4) emissions from power industry (energy) in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.

That represents a change of up 66.7% over ten years.

Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from power industry (energy) in Niger peaked at 0.0005 Mt CO2e in 2016 and was at its lowest, 0 Mt CO2e, in 1970.

That places Niger 144th 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.

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).
