Analysis
The most recent figure for methane (ch4) emissions from agriculture in Qatar is 0.3691 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024.
That represents a change of down 2.8% on the previous year and up 119.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from agriculture in Qatar peaked at 0.4539 Mt CO2e in 2020 and was at its lowest, 0.0235 Mt CO2e, in 1982.
Qatar ranks 152nd of 201 countries on this measure, in the bottom quarter.
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).
