Fig. 2: Anthropogenic methane emissions from TROPOMI inversions and comparison to UNFCCC reports for individual countries.

a Posterior 2023 anthropogenic emissions from our baseline TROPOMI inversion. b, c Absolute and relative differences from UNFCCC reports. Countries in gray do not report to the UNFCCC. Greenland’s emissions are reported by Denmark. d Comparison of UNFCCC reports and best posterior estimate for all countries with national emissions greater than 0.1 Tg a−1. Select data points are given as country abbreviations (Supplementary Data S1), with data at text midpoint. The most recent emissions from the UNFCCC greenhouse gas (GHG) data interface (https://di.unfccc.int/detailed_data_by_party) are used for all countries outside South America and Africa, where the most recently available national communications (NCs) and biennial update reports (BURs) are used. Emissions for all countries and sectors and country abbreviations are given in Supplementary Data S1.
