Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy) in Ethiopia, 1970–2024
Source: EDGAR (Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research) Community GHG Database, Joint Research Centre (JRC) - European Commission. Measured in Mt CO2e.
Analysis
Ethiopia recorded 0.0409 Mt CO2e for methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
That represents a change of up 1.7% on the previous year and up 122.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in Ethiopia peaked at 0.0409 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.0031 Mt CO2e, in 1975.
That places Ethiopia 64th out of 194 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
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).
