2020 Methane emissions (kt of CO2e) by IPCC subcategory.
Note : The waste “other” subcategory includes biological treatment of solid waste (178 kt CO2e), wastewater treatment and discharge (1,052 kt CO2e), and waste incineration and open burning (1 kt CO2e). The stationary combustion “other” subcategory includes public electricity and heat production (160 kt CO2e), petroleum refining industries (8 kt CO2e), mining (3 kt CO2e), manufacturing industries (58 kt CO2e), construction (0.6 kt CO2e), commercial and institutional buildings (22 kt CO2e), and agriculture and forestry (1 kt CO2e). Last, transportation combustion includes aviation (4 kt CO2e), road transportation (207 kt CO2e), railways (9 kt CO2e), marine (10 kt CO2e) and other transportation (off- road vehicles and pipelines, 681 kt CO2e). Not visible in the figure due to small quantities are IPPU methane emissions (143 kt CO2e) and methane emissions from the agriculture subcategory of field burning of agricultural residues (41 kt CO2e). Two additional agriculture subcategories — agricultural soils and liming, urea application and other carbon-containing fertilizers — have zero recorded methane emissions.
