Analysis
In 2024, methane (ch4) emissions from waste in Equatorial Guinea stood at 0.349 Mt CO2e.
The figure is up 2.0% on the previous year and up 3.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from waste in Equatorial Guinea peaked at 0.3655 Mt CO2e in 2021 and was at its lowest, 0.0195 Mt CO2e, in 1978.
That places Equatorial Guinea 151st out of 203 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
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 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).
