Analysis
Moldova recorded 0.9268 Mt CO2e for methane (ch4) emissions from agriculture in 2024.
That represents a change of down 16.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from agriculture in Moldova peaked at 3.13 Mt CO2e in 1989 and was at its lowest, 0.9251 Mt CO2e, in 2022.
That places Moldova 133rd out of 201 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
The long-run direction has been consistently falling 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).
