Despite some oscillation, Brazil's per capita nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions have experienced an increasing trend since 1990. In 2022, the average person in Brazil emitted 0.9 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO₂e) worth of N₂O – the highest figure recorded during the period in consideration. When compared to 1990 levels, this represented an increase of more than 35 percent.
Per capita nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions in Brazil from 1990 to 2022
(in 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.
