Analysis
The most recent figure for methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in Mali is 0.0249 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024.
That represents a change of up 4.2% on the previous year and up 211.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in Mali peaked at 0.025 Mt CO2e in 2022 and was at its lowest, 0.0002 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Mali 85th 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).
