Brazil vs Mexico: Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Methane (CH4) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Brazil
- Mexico
How they compare
Brazil currently reports 0.7906 Mt CO2e against 0.6771 Mt CO2e in Mexico, a difference of 0.1135 Mt CO2e.
That makes Brazil's figure about 1.2 times Mexico's.
The two have swapped places 6 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Brazil ahead.
Brazil ranks 7th and Mexico ranks 8th of 194 countries.
Brazil has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

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).
