Includes nitrous oxide emissions from fossil fuels, industry and agricultural sources.
Nitrous oxide emissions are measured in metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (COâ‚‚e), so are weighted for its 100-year global warming potential value.

Per capita nitrous oxide emissions in Brazil 1990-2022
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 *** 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 ** percent.
