Analysis
Togo recorded 6.36 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents for methane emissions in 2024. That is the highest value across all 175 years on record.
The figure is up 4.2% on the previous year and up 42.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane emissions in Togo peaked at 6.36 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2024 and was at its lowest, 223,410 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
That places Togo 118th 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.
