Cumulative methane (CH4) emissions in India totaled almost 71 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (GtCO2e) in 2022. Between 1851 and 1990, the South Asian country emitted approximately 46 GtCO2e of methane and since then, an additional 25 GtCO2e has been released. In 2022 alone, India's annual methane emissions amounted to some 993 MtCO2e.
Cumulative methane (CH₄) emissions in India from 1850 to 2022
(in billion metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent)
Figures were calculated by Statista according to the values provided by the source.
Includes methane emissions from fossil fuels, industry and agricultural sources.
Methane emissions are measured in metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO₂e), so are weighted for its 100-year global warming potential value.
