Denmark vs Norway: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Denmark
- Norway
How they compare
Norway currently reports 12.75 Mt CO2e against 11.26 Mt CO2e in Denmark, a difference of 1.49 Mt CO2e.
That makes Norway's figure about 1.1 times Denmark's.
The two have swapped places 9 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Denmark ahead.
Denmark ranks 65th and Norway ranks 63rd of 195 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Denmark averaged higher in 2 and Norway in 4.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Denmark | Norway | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 8.35 Mt CO2e | 7.58 Mt CO2e | 0.7753 Mt CO2e | Denmark |
| 1980s | 10 Mt CO2e | 9.27 Mt CO2e | 0.7276 Mt CO2e | Denmark |
| 1990s | 11.32 Mt CO2e | 11.38 Mt CO2e | 0.0593 Mt CO2e | Norway |
| 2000s | 12.94 Mt CO2e | 13.08 Mt CO2e | 0.14 Mt CO2e | Norway |
| 2010s | 12.07 Mt CO2e | 14.69 Mt CO2e | 2.61 Mt CO2e | Norway |
| 2020s | 11.16 Mt CO2e | 13.1 Mt CO2e | 1.94 Mt CO2e | Norway |
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 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).
