Analysis

Botswana recorded 0.0185 Mt CO2e for methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.

The figure is up 1.1% on the previous year and up 21.7% over ten years.

Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in Botswana peaked at 0.0185 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.0004 Mt CO2e, in 1970.

That places Botswana 100th 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.
