Analysis
Venezuela recorded 53 Mt CO2e for methane (ch4) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 2.6% on the previous year and down 28.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Venezuela peaked at 78.9 Mt CO2e in 2008 and was at its lowest, 38.38 Mt CO2e, in 1975.
That places Venezuela 38th out of 203 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
The long-run direction has been consistently rising 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).
