Analysis
In 2024, methane (ch4) emissions from power industry (energy) in Italy stood at 0.1973 Mt CO2e.
The figure is down 1.9% on the previous year and down 13.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from power industry (energy) in Italy peaked at 0.2496 Mt CO2e in 2017 and was at its lowest, 0.0272 Mt CO2e, in 1971.
That places Italy 16th out of 194 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top 10%.
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).
