Pará Grosso was the Brazilian state with the highest allocated greenhouse gas emissions in 2023. That year, the central-western state generated around 312 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO₂e), representing about 14 percent of national emissions. Mato Grosso ranked second, with almost 300 MtCO₂e. Changes in land use and forests are the main source of GHG emissions in Brazil.
Greenhouse gas emissions in Brazil in 2023, by state
(in million metric tons of CO₂ equivalent)
Greenhouse gas according to the IPCC report AR5.
Figures include land use and forest change, agricultural and livestock, industrial processes, energy, and residues emissions.
The sum of state values may not amount to the total national emissions due to emissions not allocated to any specific state.
