Analysis
The most recent figure for methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in Bhutan is 0.0016 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024.
The figure is up 6.7% on the previous year and up 45.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in Bhutan peaked at 0.0018 Mt CO2e in 2019 and was at its lowest, 0 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
Bhutan ranks 165th of 194 countries on this measure, in the bottom 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).
