Analysis

In 2024, methane (ch4) emissions from industrial processes in Chile stood at 0.0215 Mt CO2e.

Compared with earlier readings it is down 8.1% on the previous year and up 104.8% over ten years.

Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from industrial processes in Chile peaked at 0.1808 Mt CO2e in 2003 and was at its lowest, 0.0105 Mt CO2e, in 2014.

That places Chile 42nd out of 94 countries with data for 2024, putting it 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 industrial processes including IPCC 2006 codes 2.A.1 Cement production, 2.A.2 Lime production, 2.A.3 Glass Production, 2.A.4 Other Process Uses of Carbonates, 2.B Chemical Industry, 2.C Metal Industry, 2.D Non-Energy Products from Fuels and Solvent Use, 2.E Electronics Industry, 2.F Product Uses as Substitutes for Ozone Depleting Substances, 2.G Other Product Manufacture and Use and 5.A Indirect N2O emissions from the atmospheric deposition of nitrogen in NOx and NH3. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
