Analysis
The most recent figure for methane (ch4) emissions from waste in Cuba is 4.84 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 0.6% on the previous year and up 11.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from waste in Cuba peaked at 5.11 Mt CO2e in 2021 and was at its lowest, 3.1 Mt CO2e, in 1972.
That places Cuba 54th out of 203 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
The long-run direction has been consistently rising 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 waste sector. This includes emissions from solid waste (IPCC 2006 codes 4.A Solid Waste Disposal, 4.B Biological Treatment of Solid Waste, 4.C Incineration and Open Burning of Waste) and wastewater treatment (IPCC 2006 code 4.D Wastewater Treatment and Discharge). The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
