Analysis
In 2024, methane (ch4) emissions from building (energy) in Mozambique stood at 1.69 Mt CO2e.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 15.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from building (energy) in Mozambique peaked at 2.25 Mt CO2e in 2005 and was at its lowest, 1.15 Mt CO2e, in 2010.
That places Mozambique 30th out of 197 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
The long-run direction has been consistently rising 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).
