Brazil vs Canada: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Brazil
- Canada
How they compare
Brazil currently reports 3.59 Mt CO2e against 2.07 Mt CO2e in Canada, a difference of 1.52 Mt CO2e.
That makes Brazil's figure about 1.7 times Canada's.
The two have swapped places 7 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Canada ahead.
Brazil ranks 5th and Canada ranks 7th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Brazil averaged higher in 3 and Canada in 3.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Brazil | Canada | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.6512 Mt CO2e | 1.59 Mt CO2e | 0.9399 Mt CO2e | Canada |
| 1980s | 0.8881 Mt CO2e | 1.68 Mt CO2e | 0.7902 Mt CO2e | Canada |
| 1990s | 2.06 Mt CO2e | 1.73 Mt CO2e | 0.3334 Mt CO2e | Brazil |
| 2000s | 2.12 Mt CO2e | 2.16 Mt CO2e | 0.0313 Mt CO2e | Canada |
| 2010s | 3.06 Mt CO2e | 2.18 Mt CO2e | 0.8744 Mt CO2e | Brazil |
| 2020s | 3.37 Mt CO2e | 2.02 Mt CO2e | 1.35 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 the transportation sector (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.3.a Civil Aviation, 1.A.3.b_noRES Road Transportation no resuspension, 1.A.3.c Railways, 1.A.3.d Water-borne Navigation, 1.A.3.e Other Transportation. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
