Analysis
In 2024, methane (ch4) emissions from building (energy) in IDA total stood at 97.04 Mt CO2e. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
The figure is up 0.1% on the previous year and up 13.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from building (energy) in IDA total peaked at 97.04 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 35.09 Mt CO2e, in 1971.
That places IDA total 6th out of 47 groups with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
The long-run direction has been consistently rising 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).
