Analysis
In 2024, methane (ch4) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Yemen stood at 11.78 Mt CO2e.
The figure is up 0.5% on the previous year and down 30.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Yemen peaked at 21.09 Mt CO2e in 2007 and was at its lowest, 2.64 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Yemen 91st 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).
