Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy) in Denmark, 1970–2024
Source: EDGAR (Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research) Community GHG Database, Joint Research Centre (JRC) - European Commission. Measured in Mt CO2e.
Analysis
The most recent figure for methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in Denmark is 0.014 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024. That is the lowest value across all 55 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 1.4% on the previous year and down 16.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in Denmark peaked at 0.0906 Mt CO2e in 1978 and was at its lowest, 0.014 Mt CO2e, in 2024.
That places Denmark 106th 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).
