Brazil vs United States of America: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Brazil
- United States of America
How they compare
Brazil currently reports 0.7769 Mt CO2e against 0.3089 Mt CO2e in United States of America, a difference of 0.468 Mt CO2e.
That makes Brazil's figure about 2.5 times United States of America's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was United States of America ahead.
Brazil ranks 2nd and United States of America ranks 3rd of 187 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Brazil averaged higher in 5 and United States of America in 1.

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).
