The 2023 Canadian forest fires have been extreme in scale and intensity with more than seven times the average annual area burned compared to the previous four decades1. Here, we quantify the carbon emissions from these fires from May to September 2023 on the basis of inverse modelling of sate...
Carbon dioxide emissionsare the major contributors toGHG emissionsresulting in environmental deterioration (Stern, 2004). So, it is necessary to continuously monitor the effect of emissions of carbon on the environment. It can also result in the destruction of the subsequent generations, and its conn...
China reduces carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 3 billion tons in the past decade The opening ceremony of the 33rd National Energy Efficiency Promotion Week in China kicked off in Guangzhou on July 10th. The theme of this year's weeklong campaign is " Let's Work Together on Energy Conservat...
“Global energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions rose less strongly in 2023 than the year before even as total energy demand growth accelerated, newIEA analysisshows, with continued expansion of solar PV, wind, nuclear power and electric cars helping the world avoid greater use of fossil f...
China has been playing an active role in global environmental and climate governance, pledging to peak its carbon dioxide emissions before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2060. The country's green drive has brought great changes: a decrease in carbon emissions per unit of gross domestic ...
An extreme forest fire event in Canada in 2023 caused 1.5 billion tonnes of direct carbon dioxide emissions, higher than the overall carbon dioxide emissions from forest fires in the country over the past 22 years, said the blue book when reviewing typical cases of extreme forest fire events ar...
China released 11.9 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions in 2023, making it by far the world's largest polluter that year. While most countries experienced dramaticemission reductionsin 2020 due to COVID-19, China was one of only a handful of countries where emissions increased. ...
it means that China has saved about 1.4 billion tons of standard coal and reduced CO2 emissions by nearly 3 billion tons. Therefore, China has been among the countries with the fastest energy intensity reduction in the world, overfulfilling the target of cutting carbon emission intensity as a ...
As the climate targets tighten and countries are impacted by several crises, understanding how and under which conditions carbon dioxide emissions peak and start declining is gaining importance. We assess the timing of emissions peaks in all major emitte
When fully operational, turbines of the fourth phase are expected to annually upload 570 million kilowatt-hours of electricity to the grid, which saves an equivalent of 169,000 tonnes of standard coal, and accordingly reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 462,000 tonnes. (Xinhua/Wang Jianwei) ...
