Analysis

In 2024, methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in Switzerland stood at 0.0228 Mt CO2e.

Compared with earlier readings it is down 0.4% on the previous year and down 25.7% over ten years.

Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in Switzerland peaked at 0.1556 Mt CO2e in 1990 and was at its lowest, 0.0226 Mt CO2e, in 2022.

That places Switzerland 93rd 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.

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).
