Global Methane Emissions from Mining and Quarrying by Country

In 2023, the United States led global methane emissions from mining and quarrying with 149.03 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent, showing a slight decrease of 1.22% from the previous year. Russia, with 131.97 million metric tons, also saw a marginal decline of 0.033%. Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and Japan reported emissions of 22.824, 8.7044, and 0.44735 million metric tons respectively, with Ukraine experiencing the highest drop of 4.34%. Over the past five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for these countries indicates a general downward trend in emissions.

Looking forward, several key trends are anticipated:

  • Technological advancements in methane capture and management could further reduce emissions.
  • Stricter environmental regulations and policies may accelerate the decline in methane emissions.
  • Shifts in mining and energy production patterns could affect methane emission levels differently across countries.
