Emissions of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, per capita by country [2] Greenhouse gas emissions by Australia totalled 533 million tonnes CO 2-equivalent based on greenhouse gas national inventory report data for 2019; representing per capita CO 2 e emissions of 21 tons, [3] three times the global average. Coal was responsible for 30% of ...
On 17 July 2014, a report by the Australian National University estimated that the Australian scheme had cut carbon emissions by as much as 17 million tonnes, the biggest annual reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in 24 years of records in 2013 as the carbon tax helped drive a large drop in pollution from the electricity sector.

Global map of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, including agriculture and land use change, measured in carbon dioxide-equivalents over a 100-year timescale. [2] This is a list of sovereign states and territories by per capita greenhouse gas emissions due to certain forms of human activity, based on the EDGAR database created by European Commission.
Greenhouse gas emissions by Australia totalled 533 million tonnes CO 2-equivalent based on greenhouse gas national inventory report data for 2019; representing per capita CO 2 e emissions of 21 tons, [17] three times the global average. Coal was responsible for 30% of emissions. The national Greenhouse Gas Inventory estimates for the year to ...
Greenhouse gas emissions can be divided into those that arise from the combustion of fuels to produce energy, and those generated by other processes. Around two thirds of greenhouse gas emissions arise from the combustion of fuels. [107] Energy may be produced at the point of consumption, or by a generator for consumption by others. Thus ...
The European Union is at the forefront of international efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and thus safeguard the planet's climate. Greenhouse gases (GHG) – primarily carbon dioxide but also others, including methane and chlorofluorocarbons – trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to global warming.
Santos GLNG Operations, Shell and Origin Energy are major gas producers in Australia. [25] Australia Pacific LNG (APLNG), led by Origin Energy, is the largest producer of natural gas in eastern Australia and a major exporter of liquefied natural gas to Asia. [26] Santos is Australia's second-largest independent oil and gas producer. [27]
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.
