Analysis

Mongolia recorded 44.99 Mt CO2e for methane (ch4) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.

That represents a change of up 27.9% on the previous year and up 295.2% over ten years.

Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in Mongolia peaked at 44.99 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.1801 Mt CO2e, in 1972.

That places Mongolia 11th out of 192 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top 10%.

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