Analysis
Thailand recorded 0.3459 Mt CO2e for methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in 2024.
That represents a change of up 3.0% on the previous year and down 2.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in Thailand peaked at 0.3845 Mt CO2e in 1997 and was at its lowest, 0.0421 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
Thailand ranks 17th of 194 countries on this measure, in the top 10%.
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).
