Denmark vs Iceland: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Industrial Processes
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Denmark
- Iceland
How they compare
Iceland currently reports 1.68 Mt CO2e against 1.56 Mt CO2e in Denmark, a difference of 0.12 Mt CO2e.
That makes Iceland'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 95th and Iceland ranks 93rd of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Denmark averaged higher in 4 and Iceland in 2.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Denmark | Iceland | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 2.04 Mt CO2e | 0.7656 Mt CO2e | 1.27 Mt CO2e | Denmark |
| 1980s | 1.39 Mt CO2e | 0.4924 Mt CO2e | 0.8956 Mt CO2e | Denmark |
| 1990s | 1.63 Mt CO2e | 0.4927 Mt CO2e | 1.14 Mt CO2e | Denmark |
| 2000s | 1.68 Mt CO2e | 1.08 Mt CO2e | 0.6034 Mt CO2e | Denmark |
| 2010s | 1.27 Mt CO2e | 1.65 Mt CO2e | 0.3708 Mt CO2e | Iceland |
| 2020s | 1.58 Mt CO2e | 1.65 Mt CO2e | 0.0635 Mt CO2e | Iceland |
Averages of every year both report within each decade.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from industrial processes including IPCC 2006 codes 2.A.1 Cement production, 2.A.2 Lime production, 2.A.3 Glass Production, 2.A.4 Other Process Uses of Carbonates, 2.B Chemical Industry, 2.C Metal Industry, 2.D Non-Energy Products from Fuels and Solvent Use, 2.E Electronics Industry, 2.F Product Uses as Substitutes for Ozone Depleting Substances, 2.G Other Product Manufacture and Use and 5.A Indirect N2O emissions from the atmospheric deposition of nitrogen in NOx and NH3. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
