Analysis
El Salvador recorded 0.0416 Mt CO2e for methane (ch4) emissions from building (energy) in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 0.2% on the previous year and down 49.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from building (energy) in El Salvador peaked at 0.4821 Mt CO2e in 1979 and was at its lowest, 0.0415 Mt CO2e, in 2023.
That places El Salvador 133rd 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.

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).
