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...
The transportation sector contributes to a large share of the CO2 emissions in China. However, with the exception of direct carbon emissions caused by energy consumption, the transportation sector also requires inputs produced by other sectors to satisfy its final demand and thus induces indirect ...
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 ...
Global carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels and industry totaled 37.01 billion metric tons (GtCO₂) in 2023. Emissions are projected to have risen 1.08 percent in 2024 to reach a record high of 37.41 GtCO₂. Since 1990, global CO₂ emissions have increased by more than 60 percent....
The transport sector remains one of the main sources of CO2 emissions in most countries in Asia despite the fact that its share of total regional CO2 emissions remained constant at about 10 percent over the last 25 years. This is because China and India, which are responsible for approximately...
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...
This paper examines the impact of industrial production (IP) and coal consumption by the industrial sector on CO2 emissions in the U.S. using monthly data from 1973:m1–to 2017:m9. We apply the traditional supplemented by the unit root tests that accommodate structural break(s) to check stat...
This study analyze the potential factors influencing the growth of transport sector carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions in selected Asian countries during the 1980–2005 period by decomposing annual emissions growth into components representing changes in fuel mix, modal shift, per capita gross domestic pr...
renewable generation sources helped to lower the carbon emissions per unit of electricity generated, also known as carbon intensity. In our end-use sector CO2emissions series, emissions from the power sector are distributed to each sector based on the sector’s share of total electricity consumpt...
The potential and the costs of windfarm and small hydro power generation as a means of offsetting COemissions in India is discussed. Both the absolute and the incremental supply cost curves for COoffset are constructed. Of the two options, the use of wind electric generators in windfarms offer...
