Analysis
In 2024, methane emissions in Tajikistan stood at 8.10 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents. That is the highest value across all 175 years on record.
The figure is up 1.5% on the previous year and up 27.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane emissions in Tajikistan peaked at 8.10 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2024 and was at its lowest, 473,029 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
That places Tajikistan 113th 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.
