Brazil vs Canada: Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Brazil
- Canada
How they compare
Brazil currently reports 0.7906 Mt CO2e against 0.5773 Mt CO2e in Canada, a difference of 0.2133 Mt CO2e.
That makes Brazil's figure about 1.4 times Canada's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Canada ahead.
Brazil ranks 7th and Canada ranks 9th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Brazil averaged higher in 2 and Canada in 4.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Brazil | Canada | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.5811 Mt CO2e | 1.01 Mt CO2e | 0.4293 Mt CO2e | Canada |
| 1980s | 0.6934 Mt CO2e | 1.08 Mt CO2e | 0.3846 Mt CO2e | Canada |
| 1990s | 0.9572 Mt CO2e | 1.1 Mt CO2e | 0.1398 Mt CO2e | Canada |
| 2000s | 0.9853 Mt CO2e | 1.01 Mt CO2e | 0.0227 Mt CO2e | Canada |
| 2010s | 0.8632 Mt CO2e | 0.6819 Mt CO2e | 0.1812 Mt CO2e | Brazil |
| 2020s | 0.7392 Mt CO2e | 0.5559 Mt CO2e | 0.1833 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 the transportation sector (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.3.a Civil Aviation, 1.A.3.b_noRES Road Transportation no resuspension, 1.A.3.c Railways, 1.A.3.d Water-borne Navigation, 1.A.3.e Other Transportation. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
