Analysis
In 2024, methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in Gabon stood at 0.0017 Mt CO2e.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 61.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in Gabon peaked at 0.0045 Mt CO2e in 2016 and was at its lowest, 0 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Gabon 163rd out of 194 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the bottom 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 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).
