In 2023, India led global methane emissions from manure management with 33.5 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent, closely followed by China with 25.88. Brazil, Indonesia, the United Kingdom, and Canada also contributed significantly, ranging from approximately 9 to 4 million metric tons. Trends from the recent years indicate a decline in emissions from China, India, and several European countries, while nations like Brazil, Indonesia, and Portugal have seen slight upticks. Particularly, Malta exhibited the largest year-on-year increase of 2.11%.
Looking forward, global methane emissions from manure management may fluctuate with developments in agricultural technologies, policy changes emphasizing emission reductions, and shifts in livestock management practices. Countries emphasizing green subsidies and innovation might see sharper declines in emissions, altering the current global landscape.
