Brazil vs India: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Brazil
- India
How they compare
India currently reports 7.48 Mt CO2e against 3.59 Mt CO2e in Brazil, a difference of 3.89 Mt CO2e.
That makes India's figure about 2.1 times Brazil's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was India ahead.
Brazil ranks 5th and India ranks 3rd of 194 countries.
India has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Brazil | India | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.6512 Mt CO2e | 1.04 Mt CO2e | 0.3893 Mt CO2e | India |
| 1980s | 0.8881 Mt CO2e | 1.57 Mt CO2e | 0.6828 Mt CO2e | India |
| 1990s | 2.06 Mt CO2e | 2.46 Mt CO2e | 0.3967 Mt CO2e | India |
| 2000s | 2.12 Mt CO2e | 3.14 Mt CO2e | 1.02 Mt CO2e | India |
| 2010s | 3.06 Mt CO2e | 6.02 Mt CO2e | 2.96 Mt CO2e | India |
| 2020s | 3.37 Mt CO2e | 6.72 Mt CO2e | 3.36 Mt CO2e | India |
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).
