CO{sub 2} emissions from fuel combustion -- a new basis for comparing emissions of a major greenhouse gas, 1972--1995

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:642838
In order for nations to tackle the problem of climate change, they need accurate greenhouse-gas emissions data. This publication provides a new basis for comparative analysis of CO{sub 2} emissions from fuel combustion, a major source of anthropogenic emissions. The data in this book are designed to assist in the evolution of these emissions from 1972 to 1995 on a country, regional, and worldwide basis. They should help in preparation for and follow-up to the Third Conference of the Parties (COP-3) meeting under the Climate Change Convention in Kyoto in December 1997. Emissions were calculated using the IEA energy databases and the methods and emission factors from the Revised 1996 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories. Data are provided for over 140 countries and regions, broken down by sector and fuel.
