Brazil vs Euro area: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Brazil
- Euro area
How they compare
Brazil currently reports 0.7769 Mt CO2e against 0.0755 Mt CO2e in Euro area, a difference of 0.7014 Mt CO2e.
That makes Brazil's figure about 10.3 times Euro area's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Euro area ahead.
Brazil ranks 2nd and Euro area ranks 2nd of 187 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Brazil averaged higher in 5 and Euro area in 1.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Brazil | Euro area | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.1867 Mt CO2e | 0.2023 Mt CO2e | 0.0156 Mt CO2e | Euro area |
| 1980s | 0.4961 Mt CO2e | 0.1542 Mt CO2e | 0.3419 Mt CO2e | Brazil |
| 1990s | 0.5377 Mt CO2e | 0.1421 Mt CO2e | 0.3956 Mt CO2e | Brazil |
| 2000s | 0.6136 Mt CO2e | 0.131 Mt CO2e | 0.4826 Mt CO2e | Brazil |
| 2010s | 0.744 Mt CO2e | 0.0944 Mt CO2e | 0.6496 Mt CO2e | Brazil |
| 2020s | 0.7647 Mt CO2e | 0.0759 Mt CO2e | 0.6888 Mt CO2e | Brazil |
Averages of every year both report within each decade.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from fugitive emissions (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.1.bc Petroleum Refining - Manufacture of Solid Fuels and Other Energy Industries, 1.B.1 Solid Fuels, 1.B.2 Oil and Natural Gas, 5.B. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
