Between 2023 and 2028, Japan's methane emissions are predicted to gradually decline. The emissions value stands at 26.61 trillion grams of CO2 equivalent in 2024, slightly decreasing year-on-year by approximately 0.83% until 2025, and continuing a steady decline, ultimately foreseeing a 1.54% decrease from 2024 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for these projected years indicates an average decrease of around 0.67% per year.
Future trends to watch for include Japan's adoption of technology and regulatory measures to further curb methane emissions. Innovations in energy efficiency and renewable energy sources might accelerate the reduction pace beyond current forecasts.
