Energy related methane emissions (% of total)

Methane emissions arising from energy-related activities constitute a significant portion of greenhouse gases, primarily stemming from the production, distribution, and combustion of fossil fuels and biofuels. These emissions can occur at various stages, including extraction, refining, and transportation, often resulting from leakages and inefficiencies in gas infrastructure. Unlike carbon dioxide, methane has a much higher global warming potential, making its management critical in climate change mitigation efforts. By monitoring the percentage of total greenhouse gas emissions attributed to methane in the energy sector, stakeholders can better identify high-impact areas for intervention, prioritize investments in cleaner technologies, and implement strategies for reducing emissions, ultimately contributing to a more sustainable energy future.
