Brazil vs World: Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Combustion (Energy) over time
- Brazil
- World
How they compare
World currently reports 19.54 Mt CO2e against 2.37 Mt CO2e in Brazil, a difference of 17.17 Mt CO2e.
That makes World's figure about 8.2 times Brazil's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, World has been ahead every year.
Brazil ranks 3rd and World ranks 1st of 193 countries.
World has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

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).
