Analysis
Austria recorded 0.0853 Mt CO2e for methane (ch4) emissions from power industry (energy) in 2024.
The figure is up 0.5% on the previous year and up 2.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from power industry (energy) in Austria peaked at 0.0907 Mt CO2e in 2012 and was at its lowest, 0.0047 Mt CO2e, in 1975.
Austria ranks 33rd of 194 countries on this measure, 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).
