Methane (CH4) emissions from Power Industry (Energy) in Libya, 1970–2024
Source: EDGAR (Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research) Community GHG Database, Joint Research Centre (JRC) - European Commission. Measured in Mt CO2e.
Analysis
In 2024, methane (ch4) emissions from power industry (energy) in Libya stood at 0.0353 Mt CO2e. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
That represents a change of up 2.3% on the previous year and up 7.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from power industry (energy) in Libya peaked at 0.0353 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.0004 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Libya 53rd 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).
