Analysis
In 2023, energy — emissions (co2eq) from ch4 in Libya stood at 21,896 kt.
The figure is up 10.9% on the previous year and up 16.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, energy — emissions (co2eq) from ch4 in Libya peaked at 124,600 kt in 1969 and was at its lowest, 8,092 kt, in 2020.
That places Libya 25th out of 215 countries with data for 2023, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
The FAOSTAT domain on Emissions Totals summarizes the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions disseminated in the FAOSTAT Climate Change domains of emissions from agrifood systems. Data are computed following the Tier 1 methods of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Guidelines for National greenhouse gas (GHG) Inventories (IPCC, 1996; 1997; 2000; 2002; 2006; 2014). Emissions from other economic sectors as defined by the IPCC are also disseminated in the domain for completeness.
