Denmark vs Spain: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions excluding LULUCF per capita
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions excluding LULUCF per capita over time
- Denmark
- Spain
How they compare
Spain currently reports 4.51 t CO2e/capita against 4.28 t CO2e/capita in Denmark, a difference of 0.23 t CO2e/capita.
That makes Spain's figure about 1.1 times Denmark's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Denmark ahead.
Denmark ranks 63rd and Spain ranks 60th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Denmark averaged higher in 5 and Spain in 1.

About this data
Total annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the agriculture, energy, waste, and industrial sectors, excluding LULUCF, standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values divided by the economy's population. This measure excludes GHG fluxes caused by Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF), as these fluxes have larger uncertainties.
