Analysis
The most recent figure for methane (ch4) emissions from waste in Singapore is 4.11 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024.
The figure is up 5.0% on the previous year and up 11.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from waste in Singapore peaked at 4.16 Mt CO2e in 2019 and was at its lowest, 0.3319 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
Singapore ranks 66th 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).
