Brazil vs Norway: Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Processes
Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Brazil
- Norway
How they compare
Brazil currently reports 0.1445 Mt CO2e against 0.0996 Mt CO2e in Norway, a difference of 0.0449 Mt CO2e.
That makes Brazil's figure about 1.5 times Norway's.
The two have swapped places 5 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Norway ahead.
Brazil ranks 16th and Norway ranks 18th of 94 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Brazil averaged higher in 4 and Norway in 2.

| Decade | Brazil | Norway | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.151 Mt CO2e | 0.152 Mt CO2e | 0.001 Mt CO2e | Norway |
| 1980s | 0.1027 Mt CO2e | 0.1077 Mt CO2e | 0.0051 Mt CO2e | Norway |
| 1990s | 0.1202 Mt CO2e | 0.0727 Mt CO2e | 0.0475 Mt CO2e | Brazil |
| 2000s | 0.1474 Mt CO2e | 0.1175 Mt CO2e | 0.0298 Mt CO2e | Brazil |
| 2010s | 0.1538 Mt CO2e | 0.1132 Mt CO2e | 0.0406 Mt CO2e | Brazil |
| 2020s | 0.1498 Mt CO2e | 0.1095 Mt CO2e | 0.0403 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 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).
