Analysis
Brazil recorded 420,000 kt for energy — emissions in 2023.
That represents a change of up 1.2% on the previous year and down 9.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, energy — emissions in Brazil peaked at 493,000 kt in 2014 and was at its lowest, 47,300 kt, in 1961.
That places Brazil 15th out of 197 countries with data for 2023, putting it in the top 10%.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
The FAOSTAT domain on Emissions Totals summarizes the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions disseminated in the FAOSTAT Climate Change domains of emissions from agrifood 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). Emissions from other economic sectors as defined by the IPCC are also disseminated in the domain for completeness.
