- Brazil
- Germany
How they compare
Brazil currently reports 96,241 kt against 70,598 kt in Germany, a difference of 25,643 kt.
That makes Brazil's figure about 1.4 times Germany's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 34 shared years of data; in 1990 it was Brazil ahead.
Brazil ranks 6th and Germany ranks 9th of 238 countries.
Across the 4 decades both report, Brazil averaged higher in 1 and Germany in 3.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Brazil | Germany | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 30,781 kt | 80,904 kt | 50,123 kt | Germany |
| 2000s | 43,644 kt | 89,125 kt | 45,481 kt | Germany |
| 2010s | 65,518 kt | 83,218 kt | 17,700 kt | Germany |
| 2020s | 90,820 kt | 71,442 kt | 19,378 kt | Brazil |
Averages of every year both report within each decade.

About this data
The FAOSTAT domain on Emissions from Pre- and post- agricultural production includes the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and related activity data, generated from pre- and post-agriculture production stages of the agri-food systems. Data are computed following the Tier 1 methods of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Guidelines for National greenhouse gas (GHG) Inventories (IPCC, 1996; 1997; 2000; 2002; 2006; 2014). The domain includes methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), carbon dioxide (CO2) and CO2 equivalent (CO2eq) emissions from the above activities as well as the aggregate fluorinated gases (F-gases) emissions. Estimates are available by country, with global coverage and are updated annually.The FAOSTAT domain disseminates information estimates of CH4, N2O, CO2 emissions, F-gases, their aggregates in CO2eq in units of kilotonnes (kt, or 10^6 kg), and the underlying activity data. CO2eq emissions are computed by using the IPCC Fifth Assessment report global warming potentials, AR5 (IPCC, 2014). Data are available for most countries and territories, for standard FAOSTAT regional aggregations, and for Annex I and non-Annex I country groups.
