Methane (CH4) emissions from Power Industry (Energy) in Bulgaria, 1970–2024
Source: EDGAR (Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research) Community GHG Database, Joint Research Centre (JRC) - European Commission. Measured in Mt CO2e.
Analysis
The most recent figure for methane (ch4) emissions from power industry (energy) in Bulgaria is 0.022 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024.
That represents a change of down 3.5% on the previous year and up 129.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from power industry (energy) in Bulgaria peaked at 0.0327 Mt CO2e in 2021 and was at its lowest, 0.0052 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Bulgaria 64th out of 194 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.

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).
