This statistic shows the amount of methane (CH4) emitted in the United Kingdom (UK) from 1990 to 2017, in thousand metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e). It shows that CH4 emissions have decreased significantly over the years, falling from 132 million metric tons of CO2e in 1990 to less than half of that amount in 2017, at approximately 51.5 million metric tons of CO2e.
