Analysis
Chile recorded 23.3 Mt CO2e for methane (ch4) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in 2024.
The figure is down 0.9% on the previous year and up 5.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Chile peaked at 24.13 Mt CO2e in 2019 and was at its lowest, 15.53 Mt CO2e, in 1978.
That places Chile 65th 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 agriculture, energy, waste, and industrial sectors, excluding LULUCF. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
