Analysis
The most recent figure for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from building (energy) in Denmark is 3.7 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024.
The figure is up 1.2% on the previous year and down 12.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from building (energy) in Denmark peaked at 24.8 Mt CO2e in 1970 and was at its lowest, 3.66 Mt CO2e, in 2023.
Denmark ranks 59th of 193 countries on this measure, 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 building sector (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.4 Residential and other sectors, 1.A.5 Non-Specified. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
