Methane emissions trends by country and sector
On this page, you can assess national methane emissions across datasets and sectors, and track trends among major emitting countries.
The graphs below allow you to explore global, national, and sectoral methane emissions trends over time, comparing data from CEDS, EDGAR, PRIMAP-hist, and national inventories submitted to the UNFCCC.
You can filter by country or sector using the dropdowns on the top right-hand corner. Click on the button below to download the data.
