Analysis
Romania recorded 18.23 Mt CO2e for methane (ch4) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in 2024. That is the lowest value across all 55 years on record.
That represents a change of down 0.2% on the previous year and down 8.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Romania peaked at 42.47 Mt CO2e in 1985 and was at its lowest, 18.23 Mt CO2e, in 2024.
That places Romania 76th out of 203 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
The long-run direction has been consistently falling across the 55 years of available data.

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).
