- Brazil
- Tanzania
How they compare
Tanzania currently reports 5.56 Mt CO2e against 4.06 Mt CO2e in Brazil, a difference of 1.5 Mt CO2e.
That makes Tanzania's figure about 1.4 times Brazil's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Brazil ahead.
Brazil ranks 9th and Tanzania ranks 8th of 197 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Brazil averaged higher in 3 and Tanzania in 3.

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).
