Analysis
In 2024, methane (ch4) emissions from power industry (energy) in Brazil stood at 0.3941 Mt CO2e.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 2.5% on the previous year and up 2.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions from power industry (energy) in Brazil peaked at 0.4179 Mt CO2e in 2021 and was at its lowest, 0.0077 Mt CO2e, in 1973.
Brazil ranks 8th of 194 countries on this measure, in the top 10%.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of methane (CH4), 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).
