Analysis
In 2023, food processing — emissions (co2eq) from ch4 in Asia stood at 4,441 kt.
That represents a change of up 3.4% on the previous year and down 42.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, food processing — emissions (co2eq) from ch4 in Asia peaked at 8,205 kt in 2011 and was at its lowest, 64.07 kt, in 1992.
That places Asia 1st out of 28 groups with data for 2023, putting it in the top 10%.
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.
