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.

Methane emissions are uncertain, and the reported values and trends can differ across datasets due to variations in methodologies and data sources. We discuss these uncertainties and differences in our report.

Use this graph to compare emissions by country and sector from the CEDS, EDGAR, PRIMAP-hist datasets, and national inventories submitted to the UNFCCC.
