Since 1850, Iran has released methane emissions equivalent to almost 10 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide (GtCO2e). More than 50 percent of Iran's cumulative methane emissions have been emitted since 1990. In 2022 alone, Iran's annual methane emissions amounted to approximately 215.65 MtCO2e.
Cumulative methane (CH₄) emissions in Iran from 1850 to 2022
(in million 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.
