Analysis
In 2024, methane (ch4) emissions from power industry (energy) in Kuwait stood at 0.0749 Mt CO2e. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 4.9% on the previous year and up 28.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from power industry (energy) in Kuwait peaked at 0.0749 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.0026 Mt CO2e, in 1971.
That places Kuwait 35th out of 194 countries with data for 2024, putting it 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).
