Analysis
Colombia recorded 0.9621 Mt CO2e for methane (ch4) emissions from building (energy) in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 0.3% on the previous year and down 23.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from building (energy) in Colombia peaked at 1.66 Mt CO2e in 1989 and was at its lowest, 0.8043 Mt CO2e, in 2004.
That places Colombia 45th 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).
