Analysis
Zambia recorded 0.0026 Mt CO2e for methane (ch4) emissions from power industry (energy) in 2024.
The figure is up 52.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from power industry (energy) in Zambia peaked at 0.0027 Mt CO2e in 2018 and was at its lowest, 0 Mt CO2e, in 1989.
Zambia ranks 113th of 194 countries on this measure, 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).
