Analysis
The most recent figure for methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in Bangladesh is 0.1507 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024.
That represents a change of up 1.9% on the previous year and down 15.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in Bangladesh peaked at 0.2472 Mt CO2e in 2010 and was at its lowest, 0.0015 Mt CO2e, in 1973.
That places Bangladesh 34th 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.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of methane (CH4), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the transportation sector (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.3.a Civil Aviation, 1.A.3.b_noRES Road Transportation no resuspension, 1.A.3.c Railways, 1.A.3.d Water-borne Navigation, 1.A.3.e Other Transportation. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
