Analysis
Russia recorded 0.6907 Mt CO2e for methane (ch4) emissions from power industry (energy) in 2024.
The figure is up 2.4% on the previous year and up 5.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from power industry (energy) in Russia peaked at 0.7029 Mt CO2e in 2021 and was at its lowest, 0.1817 Mt CO2e, in 1971.
That places Russia 4th out of 194 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top 10%.
The long-run direction has been consistently rising across the 55 years of available data.

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).
