Analysis
The most recent figure for methane (ch4) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Equatorial Guinea is 3.01 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 2.9% on the previous year and down 63.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Equatorial Guinea peaked at 10.86 Mt CO2e in 2007 and was at its lowest, 0.0677 Mt CO2e, in 1973.
That places Equatorial Guinea 140th out of 203 countries with data for 2024, putting it 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 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).
