Analysis
Liberia recorded 1.16 Mt CO2e for methane (ch4) emissions from building (energy) in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
The figure is up 25.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from building (energy) in Liberia peaked at 1.16 Mt CO2e in 2023 and was at its lowest, 0.1504 Mt CO2e, in 1976.
Liberia ranks 37th of 197 countries on this measure, in the top quarter.
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).
