France vs Spain: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- France
- Spain
How they compare
Spain currently reports 18.9 Mt CO2e against 16.88 Mt CO2e in France, a difference of 2.02 Mt CO2e.
That makes Spain's figure about 1.1 times France's.
The two have swapped places 5 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was France ahead.
France ranks 30th and Spain ranks 27th of 190 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, France averaged higher in 4 and Spain in 2.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from fugitive emissions (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.1.bc Petroleum Refining - Manufacture of Solid Fuels and Other Energy Industries, 1.B.1 Solid Fuels, 1.B.2 Oil and Natural Gas, 5.B. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
