Brazil vs OECD members: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Brazil
- OECD members
How they compare
OECD members currently reports 94.54 Mt CO2e against 8.6 Mt CO2e in Brazil, a difference of 85.94 Mt CO2e.
That makes OECD members's figure about 11.0 times Brazil's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, OECD members has been ahead every year.
Brazil ranks 5th and OECD members ranks 8th of 203 countries.
OECD members has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Brazil | OECD members | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 7.38 Mt CO2e | 293.85 Mt CO2e | 286.46 Mt CO2e | OECD members |
| 1980s | 8.76 Mt CO2e | 251.47 Mt CO2e | 242.71 Mt CO2e | OECD members |
| 1990s | 7.01 Mt CO2e | 198.06 Mt CO2e | 191.04 Mt CO2e | OECD members |
| 2000s | 8.32 Mt CO2e | 132.06 Mt CO2e | 123.74 Mt CO2e | OECD members |
| 2010s | 7.08 Mt CO2e | 102.4 Mt CO2e | 95.32 Mt CO2e | OECD members |
| 2020s | 7.31 Mt CO2e | 97.45 Mt CO2e | 90.15 Mt CO2e | OECD members |
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 industrial processes including IPCC 2006 codes 2.A.1 Cement production, 2.A.2 Lime production, 2.A.3 Glass Production, 2.A.4 Other Process Uses of Carbonates, 2.B Chemical Industry, 2.C Metal Industry, 2.D Non-Energy Products from Fuels and Solvent Use, 2.E Electronics Industry, 2.F Product Uses as Substitutes for Ozone Depleting Substances, 2.G Other Product Manufacture and Use and 5.A Indirect N2O emissions from the atmospheric deposition of nitrogen in NOx and NH3). The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
