Analysis
Spain recorded 0.8102 Mt CO2e for methane (ch4) emissions from building (energy) in 2024.
The figure is down 0.3% on the previous year and down 22.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from building (energy) in Spain peaked at 1.06 Mt CO2e in 2012 and was at its lowest, 0.1078 Mt CO2e, in 1978.
Spain ranks 51st of 197 countries on this measure, 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).
