Germany vs Kenya: Methane (CH4) emissions from Building (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Building (Energy) over time
- Germany
- Kenya
How they compare
Kenya currently reports 3.41 Mt CO2e against 2.87 Mt CO2e in Germany, a difference of 0.54 Mt CO2e.
That makes Kenya's figure about 1.2 times Germany's.
The two have swapped places 7 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Germany ahead.
Germany ranks 16th and Kenya ranks 13th of 197 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Germany averaged higher in 5 and Kenya in 1.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Germany | Kenya | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 6.17 Mt CO2e | 1.03 Mt CO2e | 5.14 Mt CO2e | Germany |
| 1980s | 5.66 Mt CO2e | 1.41 Mt CO2e | 4.25 Mt CO2e | Germany |
| 1990s | 2.7 Mt CO2e | 1.91 Mt CO2e | 0.7934 Mt CO2e | Germany |
| 2000s | 2.55 Mt CO2e | 2.46 Mt CO2e | 0.0876 Mt CO2e | Germany |
| 2010s | 3.25 Mt CO2e | 3.07 Mt CO2e | 0.1755 Mt CO2e | Germany |
| 2020s | 3.11 Mt CO2e | 3.37 Mt CO2e | 0.262 Mt CO2e | Kenya |
Averages of every year both report within each decade.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of methane (CH4), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the building sector (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.4 Residential and other sectors, 1.A.5 Non-Specified. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
