Analysis
Angola recorded 34.32 Mt CO2e for methane (ch4) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 1.7% on the previous year and down 17.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Angola peaked at 50.94 Mt CO2e in 1998 and was at its lowest, 8.36 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
Angola ranks 49th of 203 countries on this measure, 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 agriculture, energy, waste, and industrial sectors, excluding LULUCF. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
