GHG emissions from food systems, by gas (Mt CO2 eq) - F-gases over time
- China
- Denmark
How they compare
Denmark currently reports 1,614 against 1,301 in China, a difference of 313.
That makes Denmark's figure about 1.2 times China's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 26 shared years of data; in 1990 it was China ahead.
China ranks 26th and Denmark ranks 23rd of 93 countries.
Across the 3 decades both report, China averaged higher in 1 and Denmark in 2.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | China | Denmark | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 227.56 | 189.37 | 38.19 | China |
| 2000s | 1,084 | 1,222 | 138.25 | Denmark |
| 2010s | 1,302 | 1,611 | 309.5 | Denmark |
Averages of every year both report within each decade.

About this data
GHG emissions from food systems disaggregated by gas are generated from EDGAR-FOOD, a global emission inventory of GHGs from the food systems. EDGAR-FOOD has been developed to aid the understanding of the activities underlying the energy demand and use, agriculture and land use change emissions associated with the production, distribution, consumption and disposal of food through the various stages and sectors of the composite global food system. These data were complemented with data from the FAOSTAT database on GHG emissions from land use related to agriculture (FAO, 2020). EDGAR-FOOD represents the first database consistently covering each stage of the food chain for all countries with yearly frequency for the period 1990-2015. Details regarding the methodology applied are available in Crippa et al. (2021).
