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 Australia 1850-2022
Australia has released almost ** billion metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (GtCOâ‚‚e) worth of methane into the atmosphere since 1850. Australia's annual methane emissions peaked in 2001 at *** MtCOâ‚‚e. The two largest sources of methane in Australia are agricultural processes and the energy sector.
