Analysis

Vietnam recorded 0.2575 Mt CO2e for methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.

That represents a change of up 7.4% on the previous year and up 71.0% over ten years.

Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in Vietnam peaked at 0.2575 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.0067 Mt CO2e, in 1977.

That places Vietnam 20th out of 194 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top 10%.

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).
