Analysis
The most recent figure for methane (ch4) emissions from building (energy) in Niger is 1.05 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
That represents a change of up 0.1% on the previous year and up 44.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from building (energy) in Niger peaked at 1.05 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.2322 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Niger 42nd 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).
