Methane (CH4) emissions from Power Industry (Energy) over time
- Brazil
- Thailand
How they compare
Thailand currently reports 0.5339 Mt CO2e against 0.3941 Mt CO2e in Brazil, a difference of 0.1398 Mt CO2e.
That makes Thailand's figure about 1.4 times Brazil's.
The two have swapped places 11 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Brazil ahead.
Brazil ranks 8th and Thailand ranks 6th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Brazil averaged higher in 5 and Thailand in 1.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Brazil | Thailand | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.0096 Mt CO2e | 0.0024 Mt CO2e | 0.0071 Mt CO2e | Brazil |
| 1980s | 0.0258 Mt CO2e | 0.0074 Mt CO2e | 0.0184 Mt CO2e | Brazil |
| 1990s | 0.0485 Mt CO2e | 0.0427 Mt CO2e | 0.0058 Mt CO2e | Brazil |
| 2000s | 0.1176 Mt CO2e | 0.1132 Mt CO2e | 0.0044 Mt CO2e | Brazil |
| 2010s | 0.3424 Mt CO2e | 0.2821 Mt CO2e | 0.0604 Mt CO2e | Brazil |
| 2020s | 0.3979 Mt CO2e | 0.46 Mt CO2e | 0.062 Mt CO2e | Thailand |
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 electricity and heat generation (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 code 1.A.1.a. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
