Analysis
The most recent figure for methane (ch4) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in Angola is 21.75 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024.
That represents a change of up 2.0% on the previous year and down 29.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in Angola peaked at 43.63 Mt CO2e in 1998 and was at its lowest, 4.26 Mt CO2e, in 1971.
Angola ranks 24th of 192 countries on this measure, in the top 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 fugitive emissions (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.1.bc Petroleum Refining - Manufacture of Solid Fuels and Other Energy Industries, 1.B.1 Solid Fuels, 1.B.2 Oil and Natural Gas, 5.B. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
