Analysis
Turkmenistan recorded 10.59 Mt CO2e for methane (ch4) emissions from agriculture in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
That represents a change of up 0.4% on the previous year and up 9.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from agriculture in Turkmenistan peaked at 10.59 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 3.1 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
Turkmenistan ranks 58th of 201 countries on this measure, 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).
