Analysis
Kyrgyzstan recorded 2.85 Mt CO2e for methane (ch4) emissions from waste in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 1.0% on the previous year and up 28.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from waste in Kyrgyzstan peaked at 2.85 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.5798 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
Kyrgyzstan ranks 84th of 203 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 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).
