- France
- Spain
How they compare
Spain currently reports 0.1427 Mt CO2e against 0.1328 Mt CO2e in France, a difference of 0.0099 Mt CO2e.
That makes Spain's figure about 1.1 times France's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was France ahead.
France ranks 25th and Spain ranks 23rd of 193 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, France averaged higher in 5 and Spain in 1.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from industrial combustion (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 code 1.A.2 Manufacturing Industries and Construction. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
