The country is attempting to use wind power to supply 40 percent of its electricity consumption by 2020. [13] At the same time, Spain is also developing other renewable sources of energy, particularly solar photovoltaic. Renewable based power in Spain reached 46.7% of total power consumption in 2021. [14]
The following table lists the annual CO 2 emissions estimates (in kilotons of CO 2 per year) for the year 2023, as well as the change from the year 2000. [4] 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.
Emissions attributed to specific power stations around the world, color-coded by type of fuel used at the station. Lower half focuses on Europe and Asia [1]. This article is a list of locations and entities by greenhouse gas emissions, i.e. the greenhouse gas emissions from companies, activities, and countries on Earth which cause climate change.
GHG emissions from the top 10 countries with the highest emissions accounted for almost two thirds of the global total. Since 2006, China has been emitting more CO 2 than any other country. [8] [9] [10] However, the main disadvantage of measuring total national emissions is that it does not take population size into account.
Emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide in 2023 were all higher than ever before. [6] Electricity generation, heat and transport are major emitters; overall energy is responsible for around 73% of emissions. [7] Deforestation and other changes in land use also emit carbon dioxide and methane.
Global map of Per capita carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions from fossil fuels and industry, 2022. 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]
According to Science for Policy report in 2024 by the Joint Research Centre (JRC – the European Commission’s science and knowledge service) and International Energy Agency (IEA), global per-capita GHG emissions in 2023 increased by 0.9% to reach 6.59 t CO 2 eq /cap, a value still 0.9% lower than in 2019 (6.65 t CO 2 eq /cap), but have ...
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.
