Analysis
The most recent figure for methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in Syria is 0.0139 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 0.7% on the previous year and down 22.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in Syria peaked at 0.0574 Mt CO2e in 1991 and was at its lowest, 0.0101 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Syria 108th out of 194 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
The long-run direction has been consistently falling across the 55 years of available data.

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).
