Analysis
Malta recorded 0.0011 Mt CO2e for methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 8.3% on the previous year and down 8.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in Malta peaked at 0.0049 Mt CO2e in 1995 and was at its lowest, 0.0009 Mt CO2e, in 1985.
That places Malta 171st out of 194 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the bottom quarter.
The long-run direction has been consistently falling across the 55 years of available data.

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).
