Analysis
Lesotho recorded 0.0003 Mt CO2e for methane (ch4) emissions from industrial combustion (energy) in 2024.
That represents a change of unchanged over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from industrial combustion (energy) in Lesotho peaked at 0.0007 Mt CO2e in 1986 and was at its lowest, 0.0002 Mt CO2e, in 1993.
That places Lesotho 157th out of 193 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the bottom quarter.
The long-run direction has been consistently falling across the 55 years of available data.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of methane (CH4), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from industrial combustion (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 code 1.A.2 Manufacturing Industries and Construction. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
