Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy) in French Polynesia, 1970–2024
Source: EDGAR (Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research) Community GHG Database, Joint Research Centre (JRC) - European Commission. Measured in Mt CO2e.
Analysis
In 2024, methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in French Polynesia stood at 0.0011 Mt CO2e.
The figure is up 10.0% on the previous year and up 10.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in French Polynesia peaked at 0.0032 Mt CO2e in 1991 and was at its lowest, 0.0005 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places French Polynesia 171st 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.

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).
