Analysis
Slovenia recorded 2.34 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents for methane emissions in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 4.6% on the previous year and down 18.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane emissions in Slovenia peaked at 4.58 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 1985 and was at its lowest, 493,181 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
That places Slovenia 145th 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.
