Analysis
In 2024, methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in Zambia stood at 0.0155 Mt CO2e.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 1.3% on the previous year and up 27.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from transport (energy) in Zambia peaked at 0.0158 Mt CO2e in 2021 and was at its lowest, 0.0041 Mt CO2e, in 1996.
That places Zambia 105th out of 194 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
The long-run direction has been consistently rising across the 55 years of available data.

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).
