Analysis

Rwanda recorded 0.9571 Mt CO2e for methane (ch4) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in 2024.

Compared with earlier readings it is up 25.9% over ten years.

Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in Rwanda peaked at 2.61 Mt CO2e in 1989 and was at its lowest, 0.583 Mt CO2e, in 1998.

Rwanda ranks 105th 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.

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).
