Analysis
In 2024, methane (ch4) emissions from waste in Syria stood at 0.5633 Mt CO2e.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 2.3% on the previous year and down 86.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from waste in Syria peaked at 4.93 Mt CO2e in 2010 and was at its lowest, 0.537 Mt CO2e, in 2022.
Syria ranks 136th 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).
