Brazil vs IBRD only: Methane (CH4) emissions from Agriculture
Methane (CH4) emissions from Agriculture over time
- Brazil
- IBRD only
How they compare
IBRD only currently reports 2,535 Mt CO2e against 471.81 Mt CO2e in Brazil, a difference of 2,063 Mt CO2e.
That makes IBRD only's figure about 5.4 times Brazil's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, IBRD only has been ahead every year.
Brazil ranks 3rd and IBRD only ranks 5th of 201 countries.
IBRD only has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of methane (CH4), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the agricultural sector. This includes emissions from livestock (IPCC 2006 codes 3.A.1 (enteric fermentation, 3.a.2 (manure management) and crops (IPCC 2006 codes 3.C.1 Emissions from biomass burning, 3.C.7 Rice cultivations). The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
