Analysis
Comoros recorded 400,656 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents for methane emissions in 2024. That is the highest value across all 175 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 0.4% on the previous year and up 12.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane emissions in Comoros peaked at 400,656 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2024 and was at its lowest, 57,084 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
That places Comoros 168th 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.
