Methane (CH4) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) in Romania, 1970–2024
Source: EDGAR (Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research) Community GHG Database, Joint Research Centre (JRC) - European Commission. Measured in Mt CO2e.
Analysis
Romania recorded 2.52 Mt CO2e for methane (ch4) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in 2024. That is the lowest value across all 55 years on record.
That represents a change of down 4.0% on the previous year and down 29.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in Romania peaked at 13.2 Mt CO2e in 1977 and was at its lowest, 2.52 Mt CO2e, in 2024.
Romania ranks 70th of 192 countries on this measure, in the middle of the range.
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).
