Analysis

Malaysia recorded 0.3735 Mt CO2e for methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in 2024.

That represents a change of up 2.4% on the previous year and down 4.8% over ten years.

Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in Malaysia peaked at 0.4314 Mt CO2e in 2005 and was at its lowest, 0.0323 Mt CO2e, in 1970.

Malaysia ranks 15th of 194 countries on this measure, in the top 10%.

The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
