Brazil vs Canada: Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Processes
Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Brazil
- Canada
How they compare
Canada currently reports 0.1846 Mt CO2e against 0.1445 Mt CO2e in Brazil, a difference of 0.0401 Mt CO2e.
That makes Canada's figure about 1.3 times Brazil's.
The two have swapped places 8 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Canada ahead.
Brazil ranks 16th and Canada ranks 15th of 94 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Brazil averaged higher in 1 and Canada in 5.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Brazil | Canada | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.151 Mt CO2e | 0.1986 Mt CO2e | 0.0476 Mt CO2e | Canada |
| 1980s | 0.1027 Mt CO2e | 0.2233 Mt CO2e | 0.1206 Mt CO2e | Canada |
| 1990s | 0.1202 Mt CO2e | 0.2096 Mt CO2e | 0.0893 Mt CO2e | Canada |
| 2000s | 0.1474 Mt CO2e | 0.1568 Mt CO2e | 0.0094 Mt CO2e | Canada |
| 2010s | 0.1538 Mt CO2e | 0.1441 Mt CO2e | 0.0097 Mt CO2e | Brazil |
| 2020s | 0.1498 Mt CO2e | 0.1739 Mt CO2e | 0.0242 Mt CO2e | Canada |
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 processes including IPCC 2006 codes 2.A.1 Cement production, 2.A.2 Lime production, 2.A.3 Glass Production, 2.A.4 Other Process Uses of Carbonates, 2.B Chemical Industry, 2.C Metal Industry, 2.D Non-Energy Products from Fuels and Solvent Use, 2.E Electronics Industry, 2.F Product Uses as Substitutes for Ozone Depleting Substances, 2.G Other Product Manufacture and Use and 5.A Indirect N2O emissions from the atmospheric deposition of nitrogen in NOx and NH3. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
