Analysis

The most recent figure for methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in Niger is 0.01 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.

Compared with earlier readings it is up 4.2% on the previous year and up 25.0% over ten years.

Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in Niger peaked at 0.01 Mt CO2e in 2022 and was at its lowest, 0.0007 Mt CO2e, in 1970.

That places Niger 119th 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.

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).
