The methane emissions total gross abstraction in Switzerland is forecasted as follows: 5.04 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent in 2024, 5.02 in 2025, 5.0 in 2026, 4.99 in 2027, and 4.97 in 2028. Comparing this to the actual emission value of 5.1 million metric tons in 2023, there is a slight but steady decrease in emissions each year.
Year-on-year variation between 2024 and 2023 is -1.18%, and between 2025 and 2024 is -0.40%. Over the last five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is approximately -0.50%, indicating a gradual decline.
Trends to watch for:
- Increased adoption of green technologies and renewable energy sources may accelerate the rate of decrease in methane emissions.
- Regulatory changes and policies aimed at reducing carbon footprints could further impact methane emissions reduction.
- Technological advancements in methane capture and conversion could also influence future emission trends.
