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...
China wasn't always the world's biggest emitter, but rapid economic growth and industrialization in recent decades have seen emissions there soar. Since 1990, CO₂ emissions in China have increased by almost 450 percent. By comparison, U.S. CO₂ emissions have fallen by 6.1 percent. ...
Considering this classification, each sector is independently evaluated to determine which contributes the most to CO2 emissions, resulting in a detailed production efficiency analysis by transportation capital. The analysis results demonstrate the differences in the measures that should be taken by the ...
The switching among fossil fuels has also reduced emissions by 329 tons. The power sector has become less carbon intensive partly as natural gas-fired generation took over coal-fired and petroleum-fired generation. In 2016, natural gas generation surpassed coal as the largest source of electricity...
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 ouretl re...
In light of the growth in vertically specialized in global trade,the present paper uses input-output tables from the World Input-Output Database to construct an environmental multiregional input-output model to calculate the CO_2 emissions embodied in China's international trade during 1995-2009.The...
The meat industry (also referred to as the livestock sector) is responsible for about 14.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. That means that the industry produces more emissions than the transportation industry - meaning all cars, planes, trains and ships combined. And there are no signs that...
Potential factors driving the transport sector CO2 emissions growth Before discussing potential factors driving transport sector CO2 emission growth, we first highlight the trend of CO2 emissions in selected Asian countries. This is followed by a discussion of direct factors, such as fuel switching, ...
The data in this book are designed to assist in understanding the evolution of the emissions of CO2 from 1971 to 2010 for more than 140 countries and regions by sector and by fuel. Emissions were calculated using IEA energy databases and the default methods and emission factors from the ...
