In 2023, power industry emissions increased by 1.6 percent to a record high of 14.9 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide (GtCO₂). This accounted for roughly 38 percent of global CO₂ emissions. Where are power sector emissions highest? China is the world's biggest power sector emitter...
We have to eat much less meat and stop chopping down the world forests. As the production of energy from fossil fuels is the main cause of CO2-emissions, the world needs to start generating energy from renewable sources. And quickly. This is possible as the sun could power the world many...
China is the largest producer and consumer of cement worldwide, and cement production entails the release of substantial carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. As the cement sector is a crucial sector of the Chinese economy, understanding the role of supplyand demand﹕ide factors may help accelerate ...

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has seen populations around the world confined to their homes. This has had an impact on the levels of emissions being produced across numerous sectors. With bans imposed on travel, the aviation sector saw daily carbon dioxide emissions fall an estimated 60 ...
Emissions from the world’s power plants reached their highest ever level global increase in electricity and heat sector emissions between 2019 and 2021. A small decline from the rest of the world was insufficient to offset the increase in China. Global CO2 emissions from the buildings and ...
1 Globally, the change in power sector emissions is driven by an uptake of renewables, as new installations of around 500 GW per year (2023 value) continue to decrease the use of coal in power in mature or maturing economies. However, this shift in power is largely offset by increasing ...
emissions from fuelcombustion from 1971 to 2008 for more than 140 countries and regions by sector and by fuel. This publicationincorporates comments and suggestions received since the first edition in November 1997.Most of the data presented in this publication are only for energy-related CO2....
models detect a non-constant dynamic ofCO2emissions worldwide that improves models’ forecasting performances. Figures2b and c compare countries’ actual and predictedCO2emissions for the multiplicative regression and RFR models, respectively. Among theCO2forecasting by the models forΔt=15years, we ...
Updated data on primary energy consumption (from BP & EIA) and greenhouse gas emissions by sector (from CAIT). Refactored code, since now this repository simply loads the data, generates the output files, and uploads them to the cloud; the code to generate the dataset is now in our etl ...
