Analysis

In 2024, methane (ch4) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in Maldives stood at 0.0027 Mt CO2e. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.

Compared with earlier readings it is up 12.5% over ten years.

Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in Maldives peaked at 0.0027 Mt CO2e in 2022 and was at its lowest, 0.0005 Mt CO2e, in 1970.

That places Maldives 169th out of 192 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the bottom quarter.

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).
