Brazil vs World: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Building (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Building (Energy) over time
- Brazil
- World
How they compare
World currently reports 63.18 Mt CO2e against 2.69 Mt CO2e in Brazil, a difference of 60.49 Mt CO2e.
That makes World's figure about 23.5 times Brazil's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, World has been ahead every year.
Brazil ranks 4th and World ranks 1st of 197 countries.
World has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the building sector (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.4 Residential and other sectors, 1.A.5 Non-Specified. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
