- Denmark
- Portugal
How they compare
Denmark currently reports 3.7 Mt CO2e against 3.44 Mt CO2e in Portugal, a difference of 0.26 Mt CO2e.
That makes Denmark's figure about 1.1 times Portugal's.
The two have swapped places 6 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Denmark ahead.
Denmark ranks 60th and Portugal ranks 62nd of 194 countries.
Denmark has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the building sector (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.4 Residential and other sectors, 1.A.5 Non-Specified. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
