IEA: CO2 emissions from fuel combustion rose 2.2% in 2013, below the average rate since 2000

Green Car Congress

Both years were below the average growth rate since 2000 of 2.5%. IEA’s preliminary assessment for the World Energy Outlook Special Report on Energy and Climate published in June estimated that global energy-related CO 2 emissions were flat in 2014. in 2013 to total 32.2 gigatonnes, compared with the 0.6% increase in 2012.

Global CO2 emissions up 3% in 2011; per capita CO2 emissions in China reach EU levels

Green Car Congress

Emissions from OECD countries now account for only one third of global CO 2 emissions—the same share as that of China and India. In China, the world’s most populous country, average emissions of CO 2 increased by 9% to 7.2 The United States remain one of the largest emitters of CO2, with 17.3 the United States (16%).

Ford researchers: global light-duty CO2 regulatory targets broadly consistent with 450 ppm stabilization

Green Car Congress

The SMP model calculates 2000?2050 The Ford team updated the SMP model with historical data for 2000, 2005, and 2010, and extended the model to calculate the total CO 2 emissions (tonnes) and the TTW (tank-to-wheel) emission rate (g CO 2 /km) for the new vehicle fleet. They converted from an absolute amount to scale relative to 2000.

IEA estimates energy-related CO2 emissions in 2010 highest in history; 80% of projected 2020 emissions from the power sector are already locked in

Green Car Congress

Energy-related carbon-dioxide (CO2) emissions in 2010 were the highest in history, according to the latest estimates by the International Energy Agency (IEA). Non-OECD countries—led by China and India—saw much stronger increases in emissions as their economic growth accelerated. tonnes for China, and 1.5

GCP Carbon Budget Finds Anthropogenic CO2 Emissions Rose 2% in 2008 Despite Global Financial Crisis; Natural Sinks Not Keeping Pace With Increasing Emissions

Green Car Congress

The authors, under the umbrella of the Global Carbon Project , reported a 29% increase in global CO 2 emissions from fossil fuel between 2000 and 2008 (the latest year for which figures are available), and by 41% between 2008 and 1990, the reference year of the Kyoto Protocol. between 2000 and 2008, compared with 1% per year in the 1990s.
