Mexico has released methane emissions equivalent to 10 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide (GtCO₂e) since 1850. This is roughly eight times less than the cumulative methane emissions produced by neighboring United States. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas with a global warming potential (GWP) 28 times greater than carbon dioxide.
Cumulative methane (CH₄) emissions in Mexico 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.
