Analysis

In 2024, methane (ch4) emissions from building (energy) in Greenland stood at 0.0007 Mt CO2e. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.

Compared with earlier readings it is up 16.7% over ten years.

Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from building (energy) in Greenland peaked at 0.0007 Mt CO2e in 2007 and was at its lowest, 0 Mt CO2e, in 1970.

Greenland ranks 176th of 197 countries on this measure, in the bottom quarter.

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).
