Analysis

Malaysia recorded 0.0205 Mt CO2e for methane (ch4) emissions from building (energy) in 2024.

That represents a change of up 2.0% on the previous year and down 24.9% over ten years.

Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from building (energy) in Malaysia peaked at 0.2342 Mt CO2e in 1970 and was at its lowest, 0.013 Mt CO2e, in 2016.

That places Malaysia 144th 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.

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).
