Analysis
Aruba recorded 23,380 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents for methane emissions in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 0.6% on the previous year and up 6.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane emissions in Aruba peaked at 86,612 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2005 and was at its lowest, 711.88 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
Aruba ranks 192nd of 199 countries on this measure, in the bottom quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
