Analysis
The most recent figure for methane (ch4) emissions from power industry (energy) in Algeria is 0.0812 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024.
The figure is down 6.8% on the previous year and up 45.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from power industry (energy) in Algeria peaked at 0.0871 Mt CO2e in 2023 and was at its lowest, 0.0012 Mt CO2e, in 1973.
That places Algeria 34th out of 194 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
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 electricity and heat generation (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 code 1.A.1.a. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
