The following table lists the 1970, 1990, 2000, 2010, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 annual per capita GHG [n 1] emissions estimates (in metric tons of CO 2 equivalent per year). The data include carbon dioxide (CO 2), methane (CH 4) and nitrous oxide (N 2 O) from all sources, including agriculture and land use change. They are measured in carbon ...
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.
This List of carbon capture and storage projects provides documentation of global, industrial-scale projects for carbon capture and storage.According to the Global CCS Institute, in 2020 some 40 million tons CO 2 per year capacity of CCS was in operation with 50 million tons per year in development.

"A wedge represents an activity that reduces emissions to the atmosphere that starts at zero today and increases to 1 giga tonne per year of reduced carbon emissions in 50 years, a cumulative total of 25 giga tonnes of emission reduction over 50 years."
The sharp acceleration in CO 2 emissions since 2000 to more than a 3% increase per year (more than 2 ppm per year) from 1.1% per year during the 1990s is attributable to the lapse of formerly declining trends in carbon intensity of both developing and developed nations. China was responsible for most of global growth in emissions during this ...
The tax was increased to a maximum allowable rate by voters in 2009 to meet CAP goals. As of 2017 the tax was set at $0.0049 /kWh for residential users (avg. $21 per year), $0.0009/kWh for commercial (avg. $94 per year), and $0.0003 /kWh for industrial (avg. $9,600 per year). Tax revenues were expected to decrease over time as conservation and ...
A carbon tax was introduced by the government of Julia Gillard on 1 July 2012. It requires businesses emitting over 25,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions annually to purchase emissions permits, which initially cost A$23 for one tonne of CO 2 equivalent. The tax was repealed by the Australian senate on 17 July 2014.
Reforestation could save at least 1 GtCO 2 per year, at an estimated cost of $5–15 per tonne of carbon dioxide (tCO 2). [142] Restoring all degraded forests all over the world could capture about 205 GtC (750 GtCO 2). [143] With increased intensive agriculture and urbanization, there is an increase in the amount of abandoned farmland.
