Analysis
Brazil recorded 0.9175 Mt CO2e for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from power industry (energy) in 2024.
The figure is up 10.3% on the previous year and up 20.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from power industry (energy) in Brazil peaked at 1.02 Mt CO2e in 2021 and was at its lowest, 0.0179 Mt CO2e, in 1974.
Brazil ranks 16th 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 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).
