Figures were calculated by ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ according to the values provided by the source.
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 its 100-year global warming potential value.

Cumulative methane emissions in the U.S. 1850-2022
From 1850 to 2022, the United States released methane emissions equivalent to ** billion metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (GtCO2e). More than ** percent of U.S. cumulative methane emissions since 1850 have been released since 1990. In 2022 alone, annual methane emissions in the U.S. amounted to *** MtCO2e.
