Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy) in Malawi, 1970–2024
Source: EDGAR (Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research) Community GHG Database, Joint Research Centre (JRC) - European Commission. Measured in Mt CO2e.
Analysis
Malawi recorded 0.0087 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 2.4% on the previous year and up 222.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in Malawi peaked at 0.0087 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.0002 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Malawi 124th 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).
