- Germany
- Sweden
How they compare
Germany currently reports 0.2811 Mt CO2e against 0.2663 Mt CO2e in Sweden, a difference of 0.0148 Mt CO2e.
That makes Germany's figure about 1.1 times Sweden's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Germany ahead.
Germany ranks 12th and Sweden ranks 13th of 193 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Germany averaged higher in 4 and Sweden in 2.

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).
