Maximum limits are 2.7 grams per kilometre (4.35 g/mi) of CO, 0.39 grams per kilometre (0.63 g/mi) of HC, and 0.48 grams per kilometre (0.77 g/mi) of NO x. One interesting detail of the Japanese emissions standards was that they were introduced in a soft manner; that is, 1978 model year cars could be sold that did not meet the 1978 standards ...
The sharp acceleration in CO 2 emissions since 2000 to more than a 3% increase per year (more than 2 ppm per year) from 1.1% per year during the 1990s is attributable to the lapse of formerly declining trends in carbon intensity of both developing and developed nations. China was responsible for most of global growth in emissions during this ...
In 2023, global GHG emissions reached 53.0 Gt CO 2 eq (without Land Use, land Use Change and Forestry). The 2023 data represent the highest level recorded and experienced an increase of 1.9% or 994 Mt CO 2 eq compared to the levels in 2022. The majority of GHG emissions consisted of fossil CO 2 accounting for 73.7% of total emissions. [4]

World map of emission intensity (kg of CO 2 per Intl$), 2018. The following list of countries by carbon intensity of GDP sorts countries by their emission intensity.Carbon intensity or emission intensity of GDP is a measure that evaluates the amount of carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions produced per unit of GDP.
Total CO 2 emissions per unit of GDP, the “CO 2 intensity”, decreased more rapidly than energy intensity: by 2.3%/year and 1.4%/year, respectively, on average between 1990 and 2007. [ 15 ] However, while the reports from 2007 suggest that the CO 2 emissions are going down recent studies find that the global emissions are rapidly escalating.
The carbon footprint explained Comparison of the carbon footprint of protein-rich foods [1]. A formal definition of carbon footprint is as follows: "A measure of the total amount of carbon dioxide (CO 2) and methane (CH 4) emissions of a defined population, system or activity, considering all relevant sources, sinks and storage within the spatial and temporal boundary of the population, system ...
The data only consider carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of fossil fuels and cement manufacture, but not emissions from land use, land-use change and forestry [n 2] Over the last 150 years, estimated cumulative emissions from land use and land-use change represent approximately one-third of total cumulative anthropogenic CO 2 emissions.
