Analysis
The most recent figure for methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in Rwanda is 0.0055 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 1.9% on the previous year and up 61.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in Rwanda peaked at 0.0055 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.0003 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Rwanda 137th 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).
