Globally averaged atmospheric concentration and its annual growth rate. [17] In April 2022, NOAA reported an annual increase in global atmospheric methane of 17 parts per billion (ppb) in 2021—averaging 1,895.7 ppb in that year—the largest annual increase recorded since systematic measurements began in 1983; the increase during 2020 was 15.3 ppb, itself a record increase.
This section details production sites at single locations where the most pollution exists or existed in the recent past. During March 2020, Secunda CTL, owned by Sasol, a synthetic fuel [21] and chemicals from coal [22] plant in Secunda, South Africa, was the producer of the single most emissions, at 56.5 million tonnes of CO 2 a year.

This is a list of countries by natural gas production based on statistics from The U.S Energy Information Administration (EIA). Natural Gas in this list means dry natural gas; which is used in homes and business for heating, cooling, cooking and electricity generation, it can also be compressed and used as a fuel.
(The Center Square) – Methane emissions from the largest oil- and natural gas-producing basins fell 44% between 2011 and 2013, according to newly published data from the Environmental Protection ...
[5]: 82 Methane's radiative forcing (RF) of climate is direct, [6]: 2 and it is the second largest contributor to human-caused climate forcing in the historical period. [6]: 2 Methane is a major source of water vapour in the stratosphere through oxidation; [7] and water vapour adds about 15% to methane's radiative forcing effect. [8]
And potent greenhouse gas methane saw the biggest year-on-year jump in levels since measurements began nearly 40 years ago. ... agriculture and fossil fuel production.
GHG emissions from the top 10 countries with the highest emissions accounted for almost two thirds of the global total. Since 2006, China has been emitting more CO 2 than any other country. [8] [9] [10] However, the main disadvantage of measuring total national emissions is that it does not take population size into account.
The UK has a new target for greenhouse gas emissions. The prime minister wants them to be 81% lower by 2035 than they were in the 1990s.While much of the climate change discussion focuses on ...
