Brazil vs World: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Brazil
- World
How they compare
World currently reports 8.5 Mt CO2e against 0.7769 Mt CO2e in Brazil, a difference of 7.72 Mt CO2e.
That makes World's figure about 10.9 times Brazil's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, World has been ahead every year.
Brazil ranks 2nd and World ranks 1st of 187 countries.
World has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Brazil | World | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.1867 Mt CO2e | 3.54 Mt CO2e | 3.36 Mt CO2e | World |
| 1980s | 0.4961 Mt CO2e | 3.57 Mt CO2e | 3.07 Mt CO2e | World |
| 1990s | 0.5377 Mt CO2e | 4.46 Mt CO2e | 3.93 Mt CO2e | World |
| 2000s | 0.6136 Mt CO2e | 5.75 Mt CO2e | 5.13 Mt CO2e | World |
| 2010s | 0.744 Mt CO2e | 8.05 Mt CO2e | 7.3 Mt CO2e | World |
| 2020s | 0.7647 Mt CO2e | 8.14 Mt CO2e | 7.37 Mt CO2e | World |
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).
