Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Poland
- Spain
How they compare
Spain currently reports 95.32 Mt CO2e against 68.61 Mt CO2e in Poland, a difference of 26.71 Mt CO2e.
That makes Spain's figure about 1.4 times Poland's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Poland ahead.
Poland ranks 21st and Spain ranks 19th of 194 countries.
Spain 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).
