Methane Emissions

This methane emissions tracker reveals the latest global data trends on methane output by sector, geography, and source and highlights actionable climate solutions.

Interactive database of country and regional estimates for methane emissions and abatement options

Explore regional or country-by-country estimates of energy-related methane emissions. Compare these with energy-sector estimates from publicly available sources and methane emissions from other human activities.

The tracker presents detailed forecasts for the abatement potential and costs or savings from different technology and policy options for coal, oil, and gas. This tool also provides a snapshot of the policy measures in place to tackle methane emissions within each country and our assessment of what greater policy action could achieve.

Building on the IEA’s Policies Database, we provide a snapshot of the policy tools in place to tackle methane emissions within each country and our assessment of what greater policy action could achieve.
