Nitrous oxides (N2O) emissions in Brazil reached a high of almost 194 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO2e) in 2022. N2O emissions in the South American country have increased by roughly 95 percent, relative to 1990 levels. Brazil is among the largest emitters of nitrous oxides worldwide. Agricultural activities are the main sources of N2O, particularly fertilized soil and animal waste.
Annual nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions in Brazil from 1990 to 2022
(in million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent)
Includes nitrous oxide emissions from fossil fuels, industry and agricultural sources.
Nitrous oxide emissions are measured in metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO₂e), so are weighted for its 100-year global warming potential value.
