Analysis
The most recent figure for methane (ch4) emissions from building (energy) in Finland is 0.4939 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024.
That represents a change of down 0.5% on the previous year and down 11.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from building (energy) in Finland peaked at 1.53 Mt CO2e in 1970 and was at its lowest, 0.2049 Mt CO2e, in 1988.
That places Finland 68th out of 197 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.

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).
