Analysis
In 2024, methane (ch4) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Chad stood at 75.12 Mt CO2e. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
That represents a change of up 4.6% on the previous year and up 74.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Chad peaked at 75.12 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 5.35 Mt CO2e, in 1974.
Chad ranks 23rd 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).
