Analysis

In 2024, methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in IDA blend stood at 1.31 Mt CO2e.

Compared with earlier readings it is up 4.1% on the previous year and up 19.1% over ten years.

Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in IDA blend peaked at 1.37 Mt CO2e in 2022 and was at its lowest, 0.1061 Mt CO2e, in 1970.

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

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).
