Denmark vs Hungary: Production vs. consumption-based carbon intensity of energy
Production vs. consumption-based carbon intensity of energy over time
- Denmark
- Hungary
How they compare
Hungary currently reports 0.1534 kg CO₂ per kWh against 0.1383 kg CO₂ per kWh in Denmark, a difference of 0.0151 kg CO₂ per kWh.
That makes Hungary's figure about 1.1 times Denmark's.
The two have swapped places 12 times across 25 shared years of data; in 1995 it was Hungary ahead.
Denmark ranks 37th and Hungary ranks 34th of 43 countries.
Hungary has averaged higher in every one of the 3 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Denmark | Hungary | Difference | Ahead |

About this data
Carbon intensity is measured in kilograms of carbon dioxide (CO₂) emitted per kilowatt-hour of energy. Consumption-based metrics adjust for the energy or emissions embedded in traded goods: it is production-based emissions and energy minus exported goods; plus the energy or emissions from imported goods.
