Analysis

In 2024, methane (ch4) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in Bangladesh stood at 2.2 Mt CO2e.

Compared with earlier readings it is down 4.5% on the previous year and down 9.9% over ten years.

Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in Bangladesh peaked at 2.82 Mt CO2e in 2017 and was at its lowest, 0.0531 Mt CO2e, in 1970.

That places Bangladesh 76th out of 192 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.

The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

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).
