International Energy Agency Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Emissions from Fuel Combustion, 1751-2019

<p>The CO2 Emissions from Fuel Combustion contains annual CO2 emissions from fuel combustion and related indicators for over 190 countries plus regional aggregates. Emissions were calculated using IEA energy databases and the default methods and emission factors given in the 2006 GLs for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories.<br></p><p><br></p><p>In recognition of the fundamental importance of understanding energy related environmental issues, the IEA CO2 Emissions from fuel combustion dataset provide a full analysis of emissions stemming from energy use and have become an essential tool for analysts and policy makers in many international fora. The publication is designed to assist in understanding the fuel specific and sectoral evolution of CO2 emissions associated with combustion of fuels with data including data estimates back to 1751. Moreover, provisional emissions data for the current year are included for the OECD countries plus major emerging economies.<br></p><p><br></p><p>In OECD Member countries the data is collected by official bodies (most often the national statistics office in each country) from firms, government agencies and industry organisations and are then reported to the IEA using questionnaires to ensure international comparability. In non-OECD countries the data are collected directly from government and industry contacts and from national publications.<br> <br> These data were first provided by the UK Data Service in June 2005 and are updated semi-annually.<br> </p>
