Analysis
The most recent figure for methane (ch4) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Argentina is 10.7%, measured in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 16.1% on the previous year and up 132.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Argentina peaked at 13.7% in 2007 and was at its lowest, -4.4%, in 1998.
That places Argentina 130th 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
Change of emissions (as %) of current year with respect to emissions in baseline year 1990 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). Negative values indicate that the emission level for that year is lower than the emissions level in 1990.
