Analysis

The most recent figure for methane (ch4) emissions from power industry (energy) in Mongolia is 0.0051 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.

That represents a change of up 2.0% on the previous year and up 50.0% over ten years.

Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from power industry (energy) in Mongolia peaked at 0.0051 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.0001 Mt CO2e, in 1970.

That places Mongolia 98th 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.

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).
