Mato Grosso was the Brazilian state with the highest allocated greenhouse gas emissions in 2022. That year, the central-western state generated nearly 402 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO₂e), representing about one-fifth of national emissions. Pará ranked second, with around 362 MtCO₂e. Changes in land use and forests are the main source of GHG emissions in Brazil.
Greenhouse gas emissions in Brazil in 2022, 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.
