Australia vs Brazil: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Power Industry (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Power Industry (Energy) over time
- Australia
- Brazil
How they compare
Brazil currently reports 0.9175 Mt CO2e against 0.7165 Mt CO2e in Australia, a difference of 0.201 Mt CO2e.
That makes Brazil's figure about 1.3 times Australia's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Australia ahead.
Australia ranks 17th and Brazil ranks 16th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Australia averaged higher in 5 and Brazil in 1.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from electricity and heat generation (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 code 1.A.1.a. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
