Analysis

Greenland recorded 0.3418 Mt CO2e for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from building (energy) in 2024.

The figure is up 1.6% on the previous year and up 20.0% over ten years.

Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from building (energy) in Greenland peaked at 0.3456 Mt CO2e in 2008 and was at its lowest, 0 Mt CO2e, in 1970.

That places Greenland 130th out of 193 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.

The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

A measure of annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), 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).
