Analysis
The most recent figure for methane (ch4) emissions from building (energy) in Tanzania is 5.56 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
That represents a change of up 17.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from building (energy) in Tanzania peaked at 5.56 Mt CO2e in 2023 and was at its lowest, 1.01 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
Tanzania ranks 8th of 197 countries on this measure, in the top 10%.
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).
