Brazil vs India: Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Brazil
- India
How they compare
India currently reports 2.4 Mt CO2e against 0.7906 Mt CO2e in Brazil, a difference of 1.61 Mt CO2e.
That makes India's figure about 3.0 times Brazil's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Brazil ahead.
Brazil ranks 7th and India ranks 4th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Brazil averaged higher in 3 and India in 3.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Brazil | India | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.5811 Mt CO2e | 0.1222 Mt CO2e | 0.4589 Mt CO2e | Brazil |
| 1980s | 0.6934 Mt CO2e | 0.2294 Mt CO2e | 0.464 Mt CO2e | Brazil |
| 1990s | 0.9572 Mt CO2e | 0.663 Mt CO2e | 0.2942 Mt CO2e | Brazil |
| 2000s | 0.9853 Mt CO2e | 1.25 Mt CO2e | 0.2653 Mt CO2e | India |
| 2010s | 0.8632 Mt CO2e | 1.63 Mt CO2e | 0.762 Mt CO2e | India |
| 2020s | 0.7392 Mt CO2e | 2.09 Mt CO2e | 1.35 Mt CO2e | India |
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).
