Analysis

In 2024, methane (ch4) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in Colombia stood at 12.17 Mt CO2e.

The figure is down 9.0% on the previous year and down 26.7% over ten years.

Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in Colombia peaked at 16.71 Mt CO2e in 2012 and was at its lowest, 2.57 Mt CO2e, in 1980.

That places Colombia 38th out of 192 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.

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