Carbon dioxide emissions from flaring in Brazil totaled 2.7 million metric tons (MtCO₂) in 2023, an increase of roughly 31 percent from the previous year. Gas flaring in Brazil increased by 0.3 billion cubic meters between 2002 and 2023.
Carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions from flaring in Brazil from 2013 to 2023
(in million metric tons of carbon dioxide)
These data include flaring from upstream, downstream oil and gas. Emissions have been calculated using flared natural gas volumes based on standard cubic meters (standardized using a Gross Calorific Value (GCV) of 40 MJ/m3) and the standard conversion factor for emissions from the IPCC. Perfect combustion has been assumed.
