Analysis
In 2024, methane (ch4) emissions from agriculture in Libya stood at 1.92 Mt CO2e.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 0.2% on the previous year and up 5.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from agriculture in Libya peaked at 1.96 Mt CO2e in 2019 and was at its lowest, 0.799 Mt CO2e, in 1971.
That places Libya 118th out of 201 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 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).
