Brazil vs Japan: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Brazil
- Japan
How they compare
Brazil currently reports 219.29 Mt CO2e against 174.9 Mt CO2e in Japan, a difference of 44.39 Mt CO2e.
That makes Brazil's figure about 1.3 times Japan's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Japan ahead.
Brazil ranks 5th and Japan ranks 6th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Brazil averaged higher in 1 and Japan in 5.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Brazil | Japan | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 60.98 Mt CO2e | 124.18 Mt CO2e | 63.2 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 1980s | 73.58 Mt CO2e | 163.79 Mt CO2e | 90.22 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 1990s | 102.87 Mt CO2e | 243.05 Mt CO2e | 140.19 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 2000s | 137.1 Mt CO2e | 250.64 Mt CO2e | 113.54 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 2010s | 196.53 Mt CO2e | 213.5 Mt CO2e | 16.97 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 2020s | 206.56 Mt CO2e | 182.27 Mt CO2e | 24.29 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 the transportation sector (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.3.a Civil Aviation, 1.A.3.b_noRES Road Transportation no resuspension, 1.A.3.c Railways, 1.A.3.d Water-borne Navigation, 1.A.3.e Other Transportation. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
