In 2022, Spain's waste-related methane (CH4) emissions were equivalent to nearly 19 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (MtCO₂e). Since 1970, CH4 emissions from solid waste disposal and wastewater treatment in Spain have nearly doubled. CH4 is a potent greenhouse gas with a global warming potential (GWP) far greater than carbon dioxide.
