Analysis
The most recent figure for methane (ch4) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Liberia is 3.13 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
The figure is up 0.4% on the previous year and up 24.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Liberia peaked at 3.13 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.5349 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Liberia 139th 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 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).
