Analysis
Mongolia recorded 0.0127 Mt CO2e for methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in 2024.
The figure is up 5.0% on the previous year and up 38.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in Mongolia peaked at 0.0157 Mt CO2e in 2007 and was at its lowest, 0.0026 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Mongolia 111th out of 194 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
The long-run direction has been consistently rising 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).
