Analysis
Seychelles recorded 0.0023 Mt CO2e for methane (ch4) emissions from agriculture in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 4.5% on the previous year and up 35.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from agriculture in Seychelles peaked at 0.0066 Mt CO2e in 1991 and was at its lowest, 0.0016 Mt CO2e, in 2011.
That places Seychelles 192nd out of 201 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the bottom quarter.
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).
