Analysis
Egypt recorded 0.5385 Mt CO2e for methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in 2024.
That represents a change of up 4.4% on the previous year and down 33.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in Egypt peaked at 0.8747 Mt CO2e in 2012 and was at its lowest, 0.0572 Mt CO2e, in 1971.
Egypt ranks 11th of 194 countries on this measure, in the top 10%.
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).
