Analysis
In 2024, methane (ch4) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Syria stood at 6.41 Mt CO2e.
That represents a change of up 1.1% on the previous year and down 37.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Syria peaked at 35.45 Mt CO2e in 1994 and was at its lowest, 6.26 Mt CO2e, in 2022.
Syria ranks 116th of 203 countries on this measure, 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).
