Analysis
Denmark recorded 0.0595 Mt CO2e for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from agriculture in 2024.
The figure is down 0.2% on the previous year and unchanged over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from agriculture in Denmark peaked at 0.1283 Mt CO2e in 2000 and was at its lowest, 0.0039 Mt CO2e, in 1974.
That places Denmark 79th out of 109 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the agricultural sector. This includes emissions from livestock (IPCC 2006 codes 3.A.1 (enteric fermentation, 3.a.2 (manure management) and crops (IPCC 2006 codes 3.C.1 Emissions from biomass burning, 3.C.2 Liming, 3.C.3 Urea application, 3.C.4 Direct N2O Emissions from managed soils, 3.C.5 Indirect N2O Emissions from managed soils, 3.C.6 Indirect N2O Emissions from manure management, 3.C.7 Rice cultivations). The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
