Kenya vs Uganda: Methane (CH4) emissions from Building (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Building (Energy) over time
- Kenya
- Uganda
How they compare
Uganda currently reports 3.96 Mt CO2e against 3.41 Mt CO2e in Kenya, a difference of 0.55 Mt CO2e.
That makes Uganda's figure about 1.2 times Kenya's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Uganda ahead.
Kenya ranks 13th and Uganda ranks 10th of 197 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Kenya averaged higher in 2 and Uganda in 4.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Kenya | Uganda | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 1.03 Mt CO2e | 1.21 Mt CO2e | 0.1811 Mt CO2e | Uganda |
| 1980s | 1.41 Mt CO2e | 1.51 Mt CO2e | 0.0933 Mt CO2e | Uganda |
| 1990s | 1.91 Mt CO2e | 1.83 Mt CO2e | 0.0844 Mt CO2e | Kenya |
| 2000s | 2.46 Mt CO2e | 2.24 Mt CO2e | 0.2169 Mt CO2e | Kenya |
| 2010s | 3.07 Mt CO2e | 3.13 Mt CO2e | 0.0552 Mt CO2e | Uganda |
| 2020s | 3.37 Mt CO2e | 3.87 Mt CO2e | 0.4993 Mt CO2e | Uganda |
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).
