Includes methane emissions from fossil fuels, industry and agricultural sources.
Methane emissions are measured in metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (COâ‚‚e), so are weighted for their 100-year global warming potential value.
Methane emissions in France have been on a downward trend since 1990, registering a record low of some million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCOâ‚‚e) in 2022. This was a decrease of more than ** percent in comparison to 1990 levels. The largest source of methane emissions in France is the agricultural sector.
