Analysis
In 2024, methane (ch4) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Mongolia stood at 64.5 Mt CO2e. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
That represents a change of up 18.6% on the previous year and up 154.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Mongolia peaked at 64.5 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 7.69 Mt CO2e, in 2004.
Mongolia ranks 29th 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).
