Analysis
Zimbabwe recorded 1.05 Mt CO2e for methane (ch4) emissions from building (energy) in 2024.
That represents a change of up 14.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from building (energy) in Zimbabwe peaked at 2.02 Mt CO2e in 1999 and was at its lowest, 0.8203 Mt CO2e, in 2004.
That places Zimbabwe 41st out of 197 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
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).
