Analysis
The most recent figure for methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in Cameroon is 0.0255 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
The figure is up 1.6% on the previous year and up 17.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in Cameroon peaked at 0.0255 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.0042 Mt CO2e, in 1971.
That places Cameroon 82nd out of 194 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
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 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).
