Analysis
The most recent figure for methane emissions in Montenegro is 589,323 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, measured in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 4.3% on the previous year and down 10.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane emissions in Montenegro peaked at 1.21 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 1984 and was at its lowest, 187,549 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
That places Montenegro 163rd 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.
