Analysis

The most recent figure for methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in Belgium is 0.0383 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024.

Compared with earlier readings it is down 1.3% on the previous year and up 30.7% over ten years.

Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in Belgium peaked at 0.1614 Mt CO2e in 1988 and was at its lowest, 0.0289 Mt CO2e, in 2015.

That places Belgium 66th 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 the transportation sector (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.3.a Civil Aviation, 1.A.3.b_noRES Road Transportation no resuspension, 1.A.3.c Railways, 1.A.3.d Water-borne Navigation, 1.A.3.e Other Transportation. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
