Analysis
United Arab Emirates recorded 0.1261 Mt CO2e for methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 4.2% on the previous year and up 4.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in United Arab Emirates peaked at 0.128 Mt CO2e in 2018 and was at its lowest, 0.0034 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places United Arab Emirates 38th out of 194 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
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).
