Analysis
Hungary recorded 0.4767 Mt CO2e for methane (ch4) emissions from building (energy) in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 0.3% on the previous year and down 27.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from building (energy) in Hungary peaked at 1.05 Mt CO2e in 1985 and was at its lowest, 0.317 Mt CO2e, in 2004.
That places Hungary 71st out of 197 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
The long-run direction has been consistently falling across the 55 years of available data.

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).
