Variable: CO2 Emissions from Energy in million tonnes of carbon dioxide

QoG Code: (srwe_co2)


Dataset: Statistical Review of World Energy

Description:

Carbon Dioxide Emissions from Energy by country in millions of tonnes of carbon dioxide.

The carbon emissions reflect only those through consumption of oil, gas and coal for combustion related activities, and are based on default CO2 Emissions Factors for Combustion' listed by the IPCC in its Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (2006).

This does not allow for any carbon that is sequestered, for other sources of carbon emissions, or for emissions of other greenhouse gases.

The data is therefore not comparable to official national emissions data.
