Analysis
Armenia recorded 1.65 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents for methane emissions in 2024.
That represents a change of up 0.7% on the previous year and down 2.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane emissions in Armenia peaked at 2.14 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 1989 and was at its lowest, 214,058 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
That places Armenia 150th out of 199 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the bottom quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
