- Denmark
- Ireland
How they compare
Ireland currently reports 11.41 Mt CO2e against 11.26 Mt CO2e in Denmark, a difference of 0.15 Mt CO2e.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Denmark ahead.
Denmark ranks 64th and Ireland ranks 63rd 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 transportation sector (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.3.a Civil Aviation, 1.A.3.b_noRES Road Transportation no resuspension, 1.A.3.c Railways, 1.A.3.d Water-borne Navigation, 1.A.3.e Other Transportation. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
