Bangladesh vs Brazil: Methane (CH4) emissions from Building (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Building (Energy) over time
- Bangladesh
- Brazil
How they compare
Brazil currently reports 4.06 Mt CO2e against 3.57 Mt CO2e in Bangladesh, a difference of 0.49 Mt CO2e.
That makes Brazil's figure about 1.1 times Bangladesh's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Brazil ahead.
Bangladesh ranks 12th and Brazil ranks 9th of 197 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Bangladesh averaged higher in 1 and Brazil in 5.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Bangladesh | Brazil | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 2.44 Mt CO2e | 7.94 Mt CO2e | 5.5 Mt CO2e | Brazil |
| 1980s | 2.79 Mt CO2e | 5.33 Mt CO2e | 2.54 Mt CO2e | Brazil |
| 1990s | 3.17 Mt CO2e | 3.3 Mt CO2e | 0.1286 Mt CO2e | Brazil |
| 2000s | 3.64 Mt CO2e | 3.66 Mt CO2e | 0.0227 Mt CO2e | Brazil |
| 2010s | 3.74 Mt CO2e | 3.5 Mt CO2e | 0.2356 Mt CO2e | Bangladesh |
| 2020s | 3.57 Mt CO2e | 3.99 Mt CO2e | 0.4176 Mt CO2e | Brazil |
Averages of every year both report within each decade.

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).
