Analysis
Namibia recorded 0.0121 Mt CO2e for methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in 2024.
The figure is up 0.8% on the previous year and down 5.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in Namibia peaked at 0.0145 Mt CO2e in 2017 and was at its lowest, 0.0007 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
Namibia ranks 113th of 194 countries on this measure, 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).
