Analysis
Turkey recorded 0.1226 Mt CO2e for methane (ch4) emissions from power industry (energy) in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 1.0% on the previous year and up 17.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from power industry (energy) in Turkey peaked at 0.1298 Mt CO2e in 2021 and was at its lowest, 0.0024 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Turkey 23rd out of 194 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top 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).
