Analysis
The most recent figure for emission totals - emissions (ch4) - on-farm energy use in North Korea is 0.7406, measured in 2019. That is the lowest value across all 30 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 12.1% on the previous year and down 77.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, emission totals - emissions (ch4) - on-farm energy use in North Korea peaked at 73.67 in 1990 and was at its lowest, 0.7406, in 2019.
That places North Korea 26th out of 205 countries with data for 2019, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
The FAOSTAT domain Emissions Totals summarizes the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions generated from agriculture and forest land. They consist of methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from crop and livestock activities, forest management and include land use and land use change processes. Data are computed at Tier 1 of the IPCC Guidelines for National greenhouse gas (GHG) Inventories (IPCC, 1996; 1997; 2000; 2002; 2006; 2014). Estimates are available by country, with global coverage for the period 1961–2019 with projections for 2030 and 2050 for some categories of emissions or 1990–2019 for others. The database is updated annually. The FAOSTAT domain Emissions Totals disseminates information estimates of CH4, N2O and CO2 emissions/removals and their aggregates in CO2eq in units of kilotonnes (kt, or 106 kg). The latter are computed by using the IPCC Fifth Assessment report global warming potentials, AR5 (IPCC, 2014).
