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 is a list of sovereign states and territories by per capita carbon dioxide emissions [n 1] due to certain forms of human activity, based on the EDGAR database created by European Commission. The following table lists the annual per capita CO 2 emissions estimates (in kilotons of CO 2 per year) for the year 2023, as well as the change from ...
The International Energy Agency estimates that the top 1% of emitters globally each had carbon footprints of over 50 tonnes of CO 2 in 2021, more than 1,000 times greater than those of the bottom 1% of emitters. The global average energy-related carbon footprint is around 4.7 tonnes of CO 2 per person. [47]
"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 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 The tax was repealed by the Australian senate on 17 July 2014.
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.
