Analysis
The most recent figure for methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in Laos is 0.0081 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 5.2% on the previous year and up 9.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in Laos peaked at 0.0096 Mt CO2e in 2016 and was at its lowest, 0.0005 Mt CO2e, in 1984.
Laos ranks 131st of 194 countries on this measure, 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).
