EU Regulation No 443/2009 set an average CO 2 emissions target for new passenger cars of 130 grams per kilometre. The target was gradually phased in between 2012 and 2015. A target of 95 grams per kilometre applies from 2021. For light commercial vehicle, an emissions target of 175 g/km applies from 2017, and 147 g/km from 2020, [67] a ...
Greenhouse gas emissions in 2019 were estimated at 57.4 GtCO 2 e, while CO 2 emissions alone made up 42.5 Gt including land-use change (LUC). [ 94 ] While mitigation measures for decarbonization are essential on the longer term, they could result in weak near-term warming because sources of carbon emissions often also co-emit air pollution .
Global map of Carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions from fossil fuels and industry. Land use change is not included. [1] Annual CO 2 emissions by region. This measures fossil fuel and industry emissions. Land use change is not included. [2] Cumulative CO 2 emissions by world region, 2022. [3]
English: Diagram with pie charts showing CO2 emissions per person, for several high-emissions countries, distinguishing by income class (income decile) Source for data: Cozzi, Laura; Chen, Olivia; Kim, Hyeji, The world’s top 1% of emitters produce over 1000 times more CO2 than the bottom 1%.
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.
A carbon bomb, or climate bomb, [34] is any new extraction of hydrocarbons from underground whose potential greenhouse gas emissions exceed 1 billion tonnes of CO 2 worldwide. In 2022, a study showed that there are 425 fossil fuel extraction projects (coal, oil and gas) with potential CO2 emissions of more than 1 billion tonnes worldwide.
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. [6]
Total CO 2 emissions per capita decreased from 8.7 t in 1990 to 7.8 t in 2007, that is to say a decrease by 10%. Almost 40% of the reduction in CO 2 intensity is due to increased use of energy carriers with lower emission factors. Total CO 2 emissions per unit of GDP, the “CO 2 intensity”, decreased more rapidly than energy intensity: by 2. ...
