Sources

IEA estimates based on measured, satellite, and inferred data (see Documentation for further information).

Notes

Other includes Bolivia, Chile, Cuba, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, Trinidad and Tobago, Uruguay and Caribbean Island States. Methane intensity is calculated in energy terms as emissions from upstream operations divided by marketed fuel production volume, assuming methane has an energy density of 55 megajoules per kilogram (MJ/kg).
