Analysis
The most recent figure for methane (ch4) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in Syria is 1.15 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 8.9% on the previous year and down 10.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in Syria peaked at 30.69 Mt CO2e in 1994 and was at its lowest, 1 Mt CO2e, in 2018.
Syria ranks 96th 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).
