Abstract: This paper investigates the relation among CH4 emissions and gross domestic product of Argentina with two additional variables such as electricity power consumption and agriculture land use trying to prove the existence of the environmental Kuznets curve. Our main results are as: 1) there is an environmental Kuznets curve in Argentina; 2) there is long run relationship among the variables; 3) CH4 emissions has positive relation with gross domestic product; 4) electric power consumption and agriculture use have positive effect on the gross domestic product of Argentina; 5) there is no short run relationship among the variables according to Granger causality test results in the model 1, model 2 presents bi-causality among CH4 emissions and agriculture use. Further, several recommendations were formulated to continue with undertake any conservative policy in order to reduce emissions without major consequences on economic sectors.
