Analysis
The most recent figure for methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in Cambodia is 0.0294 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 4.6% on the previous year and up 78.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in Cambodia peaked at 0.0294 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.0006 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Cambodia 72nd 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 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).
