Analysis
Belgium recorded 0.0561 Mt CO2e for methane (ch4) emissions from power industry (energy) in 2024.
That represents a change of down 1.2% on the previous year and down 14.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from power industry (energy) in Belgium peaked at 0.0777 Mt CO2e in 2012 and was at its lowest, 0.0127 Mt CO2e, in 1986.
Belgium ranks 40th 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).
