Analysis
Croatia recorded 3.16 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents for methane emissions in 2024.
The figure is down 3.5% on the previous year and down 16.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane emissions in Croatia peaked at 4.65 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 1984 and was at its lowest, 841,759 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
That places Croatia 140th out of 199 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
