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...
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....
those implemented in the sector 'electricity supply' have the highest impact on global emissions compared to the 'current policies' scenario.Replicating the impact of these policies worldwide could lead to emission and energy trends in the renewable electricity, passenger transport, industry (including...
A Global Breakdown of Greenhouse Gas Emissions by Sector In a few decades, greenhouse gases (GHGs)—chiefly in the form of CO₂ emissions—have risen at unprecedented rates as a result of global growth and resource consumption. To uncover the major sectors where these emissions originate, this...
Fig. 3: Sectoral effects of COVID-19 on CO2 emissions. a Sector-specific effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on CO2 emissions globally, shown as the 7-day running mean of daily differences between January 1st and June 30th of 2019 and 2020, and b the cumulative decline by sectors in each...
China has announced that it will peak carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. This commitment has further spurred the development of clean energy products. "China's strong capacity to manufacture clean energy products has driven down green transition costs, paving the...
Growing the the commencement of the reforms to the Australian CCS project pipeline to the level required to capture Safeguard Mechanism, requiring 4.9% year on year 10 Gtpa CO2 per year by the middle of this century reduction in emissions from covered facilities over will require strong growth ...
Climate actions by the private sector are crucial to cutting global emissions and meeting the climate targets set by the Paris Agreement. However, despite an increasing number of climate pledges, the emissions pathways of most companies are still misalig

Although the electricity generated by this infrastructure is vital to economic activity worldwide, it also produces more CO2 and air pollutant emissions than infrastructure from any other industrial sector. Here, we assess fuel- and region-specific opportunities for reducing undesirable air pollutant ...
