In 2024, India leads global methane emissions from manure management, contributing 35.07 thousand metric tons of CO2 equivalent, a marginal decline from the previous year. China follows closely with a 4.6% year-on-year decrease to 27.09 thousand metric tons. Brazil shows a slight growth of 0.95%, while Indonesia's emissions increase by 1.4%. Other notable increases include Hungary (+1.01%), Estonia (+1.88%), and Malta (+2.11%). Conversely, significant declines were seen in Croatia (-2.75%) and Romania (-1.94%). Over the past five years, the compound annual growth rate reflects moderate declines in most European nations.
Future trends to watch comprise advancements in sustainable manure management practices, regulatory interventions, and technological innovations focused on methane capture and utilization, potentially dampening emissions growth or reversing current trends in key contributing countries.
