Analysis
Albania recorded 0.0487 Mt CO2e for methane (ch4) emissions from building (energy) in 2024. That is the lowest value across all 55 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 26.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from building (energy) in Albania peaked at 0.2732 Mt CO2e in 1990 and was at its lowest, 0.0487 Mt CO2e, in 2023.
Albania ranks 131st of 197 countries on this measure, in the middle of the range.
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).
