- Brazil
- Nigeria
How they compare
Brazil currently reports 27 Mt CO2e against 23.08 Mt CO2e in Nigeria, a difference of 3.92 Mt CO2e.
That makes Brazil's figure about 1.2 times Nigeria's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Nigeria ahead.
Brazil ranks 20th and Nigeria ranks 23rd of 190 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Brazil averaged higher in 2 and Nigeria in 4.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Brazil | Nigeria | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 14.44 Mt CO2e | 53.13 Mt CO2e | 38.69 Mt CO2e | Nigeria |
| 1980s | 25.16 Mt CO2e | 43.86 Mt CO2e | 18.71 Mt CO2e | Nigeria |
| 1990s | 30.75 Mt CO2e | 56.52 Mt CO2e | 25.77 Mt CO2e | Nigeria |
| 2000s | 30.59 Mt CO2e | 50.01 Mt CO2e | 19.42 Mt CO2e | Nigeria |
| 2010s | 33.69 Mt CO2e | 31.75 Mt CO2e | 1.94 Mt CO2e | Brazil |
| 2020s | 27.32 Mt CO2e | 23 Mt CO2e | 4.33 Mt CO2e | Brazil |
Averages of every year both report within each decade.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from fugitive emissions (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.1.bc Petroleum Refining - Manufacture of Solid Fuels and Other Energy Industries, 1.B.1 Solid Fuels, 1.B.2 Oil and Natural Gas, 5.B. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
