The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) has released a new report, State-Level Energy-Related Carbon Dioxide Emissions, 2000-2010. For example, some states are located near abundant hydroelectric supplies, while others contain abundant coal resources. From 2000 to 2010, CO 2 emissions fell in 32 states and rose in 18 states.

The study, which also involved the University of East Anglia (UK) and other global institutions, is part of the annual carbon budget update by the Global Carbon Project. Global carbon dioxide emissions show no sign of abating and may reach record levels in 2010, according to a study led by the University of Exeter (UK).

Underlying global demand for energy by 2050 could triple from its 2000 level if emerging economies follow historical patterns of development. But this still leaves a gap between business as-usual supply and business-as-usual demand of around 400 EJ/a: the size of the whole industry in 2000. Zone of uncertainty.

In terms of fuels, 44% of the estimated CO 2 emissions in 2010 came from coal, 36% from oil, and 20% from natural gas. After a dip in 2009 caused by the global financial crisis, emissions are estimated to have climbed to a record 30.6 Gigatonnes (Gt), a 5% jump from the previous record year in 2008, when levels reached 29.3 Earlier post.).
