Denmark vs Small states: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Power Industry (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Power Industry (Energy) over time
- Denmark
- Small states
How they compare
Small states currently reports 0.4187 Mt CO2e against 0.1429 Mt CO2e in Denmark, a difference of 0.2758 Mt CO2e.
That makes Small states's figure about 2.9 times Denmark's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Denmark ahead.
Denmark ranks 43rd and Small states ranks 40th of 195 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Denmark averaged higher in 5 and Small states in 1.

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