Methane (CH4) emissions (total) excluding LULUCF over time
- Brazil
- Russia
How they compare
Brazil currently reports 621.19 Mt CO2e against 416.94 Mt CO2e in Russia, a difference of 204.25 Mt CO2e.
That makes Brazil's figure about 1.5 times Russia's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Russia ahead.
Brazil ranks 4th and Russia ranks 6th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Brazil averaged higher in 4 and Russia in 2.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of methane (CH4), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the agriculture, energy, waste, and industrial sectors, excluding LULUCF. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
