• CH4 concentration (EEA & NOAA (2019))

  • loading
  • Global annual averaged atmospheric concentration of methane (CH₄), measured in parts per billion (ppb).

    The series was merged by Our World in Data based on data from the European Environment Agency (EEA) & National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Data from the EEA is used until 2016; thereafter data is sourced from the NOAA.

    Original EEA data is derived from the Advanced Global Atmospheric Gases Experiment (AGAGE), available at: https://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/data/external/agage-measurements.
