Analysis
In 2024, methane (ch4) emissions from power industry (energy) in French Polynesia stood at 0.0002 Mt CO2e.
That represents a change of down 33.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from power industry (energy) in French Polynesia peaked at 0.0004 Mt CO2e in 1986 and was at its lowest, 0 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places French Polynesia 164th out of 194 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the bottom 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).
