- Brazil
- Kuwait
How they compare
Brazil currently reports 33.69 Mt CO2e against 27.12 Mt CO2e in Kuwait, a difference of 6.57 Mt CO2e.
That makes Brazil's figure about 1.2 times Kuwait's.
The two have swapped places 9 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Kuwait ahead.
Brazil ranks 16th and Kuwait ranks 19th of 192 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Brazil averaged higher in 4 and Kuwait in 2.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Brazil | Kuwait | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 15.3 Mt CO2e | 33.54 Mt CO2e | 18.23 Mt CO2e | Kuwait |
| 1980s | 27.24 Mt CO2e | 17.39 Mt CO2e | 9.86 Mt CO2e | Brazil |
| 1990s | 24.11 Mt CO2e | 21.3 Mt CO2e | 2.81 Mt CO2e | Brazil |
| 2000s | 29.97 Mt CO2e | 28.87 Mt CO2e | 1.1 Mt CO2e | Brazil |
| 2010s | 29.62 Mt CO2e | 29.99 Mt CO2e | 0.3613 Mt CO2e | Kuwait |
| 2020s | 32.74 Mt CO2e | 27.79 Mt CO2e | 4.95 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 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).
