Iran vs Kazakhstan: Methane (CH4) emissions from Building (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Building (Energy) over time
- Iran
- Kazakhstan
How they compare
Kazakhstan currently reports 1.49 Mt CO2e against 1.36 Mt CO2e in Iran, a difference of 0.13 Mt CO2e.
That makes Kazakhstan's figure about 1.1 times Iran's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Kazakhstan ahead.
Iran ranks 33rd and Kazakhstan ranks 32nd of 197 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Iran averaged higher in 3 and Kazakhstan in 3.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Iran | Kazakhstan | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.095 Mt CO2e | 0.1104 Mt CO2e | 0.0154 Mt CO2e | Kazakhstan |
| 1980s | 0.1736 Mt CO2e | 0.1329 Mt CO2e | 0.0407 Mt CO2e | Iran |
| 1990s | 0.2921 Mt CO2e | 0.0895 Mt CO2e | 0.2026 Mt CO2e | Iran |
| 2000s | 0.4661 Mt CO2e | 0.1327 Mt CO2e | 0.3334 Mt CO2e | Iran |
| 2010s | 0.5418 Mt CO2e | 1.04 Mt CO2e | 0.497 Mt CO2e | Kazakhstan |
| 2020s | 0.9134 Mt CO2e | 1.45 Mt CO2e | 0.5376 Mt CO2e | Kazakhstan |
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).
