Brazil vs India: Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) over time
- Brazil
- India
How they compare
India currently reports 4.39 Mt CO2e against 2.37 Mt CO2e in Brazil, a difference of 2.02 Mt CO2e.
That makes India's figure about 1.8 times Brazil's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was India ahead.
Brazil ranks 3rd and India ranks 1st of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Brazil averaged higher in 4 and India in 2.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Brazil | India | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.8115 Mt CO2e | 0.7197 Mt CO2e | 0.0918 Mt CO2e | Brazil |
| 1980s | 1.6 Mt CO2e | 0.8024 Mt CO2e | 0.7946 Mt CO2e | Brazil |
| 1990s | 1.62 Mt CO2e | 1.03 Mt CO2e | 0.5884 Mt CO2e | Brazil |
| 2000s | 2.09 Mt CO2e | 1.66 Mt CO2e | 0.4291 Mt CO2e | Brazil |
| 2010s | 2.12 Mt CO2e | 2.9 Mt CO2e | 0.7804 Mt CO2e | India |
| 2020s | 2.26 Mt CO2e | 4.02 Mt CO2e | 1.76 Mt CO2e | India |
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).
