Analysis

In 2024, methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in Cape Verde stood at 0.0026 Mt CO2e.

Compared with earlier readings it is up 4.0% on the previous year and up 8.3% over ten years.

Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in Cape Verde peaked at 0.0031 Mt CO2e in 2017 and was at its lowest, 0.0001 Mt CO2e, in 1971.

That places Cape Verde 157th out of 194 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the bottom quarter.

The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
