Analysis

The most recent figure for methane (ch4) emissions from power industry (energy) in Malaysia is 0.0898 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024.

Compared with earlier readings it is up 5.0% on the previous year and down 11.4% over ten years.

Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from power industry (energy) in Malaysia peaked at 0.1068 Mt CO2e in 2010 and was at its lowest, 0.0009 Mt CO2e, in 1970.

That places Malaysia 32nd 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.

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).
