Methane (CH4) emissions in the United Kingdom (UK) 1990-2022
The United Kingdom's territorial methane (CH4) emissions were equivalent to 56.4 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (MtCO₂e) in 2022. Annual UK methane emissions have fallen by more than 60 percent since 1990.
Methane is one of the six greenhouse gases covered by the Kyoto protocol, and has a global warming potential far greater than carbon dioxide.
