Analysis
In 2024, methane (ch4) emissions from waste in Croatia stood at 1.76 Mt CO2e.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 0.7% on the previous year and down 3.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from waste in Croatia peaked at 1.9 Mt CO2e in 2017 and was at its lowest, 0.8735 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Croatia 101st out of 203 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 waste sector. This includes emissions from solid waste (IPCC 2006 codes 4.A Solid Waste Disposal, 4.B Biological Treatment of Solid Waste, 4.C Incineration and Open Burning of Waste) and wastewater treatment (IPCC 2006 code 4.D Wastewater Treatment and Discharge). The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
