Analysis
The most recent figure for methane (ch4) emissions from agriculture in Burundi is 2.9 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 4.6% on the previous year and up 87.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from agriculture in Burundi peaked at 2.9 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.5487 Mt CO2e, in 1998.
Burundi ranks 108th of 201 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 agricultural sector. This includes emissions from livestock (IPCC 2006 codes 3.A.1 (enteric fermentation, 3.a.2 (manure management) and crops (IPCC 2006 codes 3.C.1 Emissions from biomass burning, 3.C.7 Rice cultivations). The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
