Analysis

In 2024, methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in Uganda stood at 0.0269 Mt CO2e. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.

The figure is up 1.9% on the previous year and up 72.4% over ten years.

Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in Uganda peaked at 0.0269 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.002 Mt CO2e, in 1983.

That places Uganda 79th 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.
