Analysis
The most recent figure for methane emissions in Uzbekistan is 52.57 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, measured in 2024.
The figure is up 0.7% on the previous year and up 12.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane emissions in Uzbekistan peaked at 52.96 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2022 and was at its lowest, 2.21 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
That places Uzbekistan 33rd out of 199 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
