Brazil vs European Union: Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) over time
- Brazil
- European Union
How they compare
Brazil currently reports 2.37 Mt CO2e against 1.28 Mt CO2e in European Union, a difference of 1.09 Mt CO2e.
That makes Brazil's figure about 1.9 times European Union's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was European Union ahead.
Brazil ranks 3rd and European Union ranks 1st of 193 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Brazil averaged higher in 5 and European Union in 1.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Brazil | European Union | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.8115 Mt CO2e | 1.21 Mt CO2e | 0.4034 Mt CO2e | European Union |
| 1980s | 1.6 Mt CO2e | 1.24 Mt CO2e | 0.3616 Mt CO2e | Brazil |
| 1990s | 1.62 Mt CO2e | 1.16 Mt CO2e | 0.4607 Mt CO2e | Brazil |
| 2000s | 2.09 Mt CO2e | 1.14 Mt CO2e | 0.9466 Mt CO2e | Brazil |
| 2010s | 2.12 Mt CO2e | 1.22 Mt CO2e | 0.9002 Mt CO2e | Brazil |
| 2020s | 2.26 Mt CO2e | 1.29 Mt CO2e | 0.9683 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 industrial combustion (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 code 1.A.2 Manufacturing Industries and Construction. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
