Main sources of methane emissions

Sources

Methane emissions and abatement potential for oil, gas, and coal are based on the IEA (2023) Global Methane Tracker (https://www.iea.org/data-and-statistics/data-tools/methane-tracker-data-explorer) ; agriculture and waste is based on UNEP (2023), Global Methane Assessment (https://www.unep.org/resources/report/global-methane-assessment-benefits-and-costs-mitigating-methane-emissions). Emissions from biomass and bioenergy burning, which total around 10 Mt (https://essd.copernicus.org/articles/12/1561/2020/) of methane per year each, are not shown.
