Abstract

Global carbon dioxide emissions for 1950 through 1982 were estimated by Marland and Rotty (1984) from fuel production data from the U.N. Energy Statistics Yearbook (1983, 1984). Data before 1950 came from Keeling (1973). Fuel-production data were used in these calculations because they appeared to be more reliable on a global basis than fuel-consumption data. The data given are the year and annual global CO2 emissions (annual global total; cumulative global total since 1860; and annual global emissions from solid fuels, liquid fuels, natural gas, gas flaring, and cement manufacturing). These data provide the only pre-1950 estimates of the amount of carbon emitted to the atmosphere from fossil-fuel burning. The CO2 emission record since 1950 has been updated and revised several times with the most recent estimates being published by Marland et al. (1989).For access to the data files, click this link to the CDIAC data transition website: http://cdiac.ess-dive.lbl.gov/ndps/ndp006.html

Production of CO{sub 2} from fossil fuel burning by fuel type, 1860-1982

Technical Report Rotty, R M ; Marland, G

Carbon dioxide emission calculations resulting from fossil fuel useage for the years 1860-1982 are presented.
Production of CO/sub 2/ from fossil fuel burning by fuel type 1860-1982

Technical Report Rotty, R M ; Marland, G

CO/sub 2/ emission calculations for the years 1860-1950 were obtained using fuel production data presented in the proceedings of the U.N. Conference on Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy (1956). Calculations for the years 1951-1982 were obtained using fuel production data from the U.N. Energy Statistics Yearbooks (1983, 1984). Fuel production rather than fuel consumption data are used, because fuel production data have appeared to be more reliable on a global basis than consumption data. Marland and Rotty have found the annual rate of increase for the period 1950-1973 to be 4.46 +/- 0.24 percent per year, and 1.86 +/- 113more »« less
Global, Regional, and National Fossil Fuel CO2 Emissions

Dataset Marland, G. ; Boden, T. A. ; Andres, R. J.

Publications containing historical energy statistics make it possible to estimate fossil fuel CO2 emissions back to 1751. Etemad et al. (1991) published a summary compilation that tabulates coal, brown coal, peat, and crude oil production by nation and year. Footnotes in the Etemad et al.(1991) publication extend the energy statistics time series back to 1751. Summary compilations of fossil fuel trade were published by Mitchell (1983, 1992, 1993, 1995). Mitchell's work tabulates solid and liquid fuel imports and exports by nation and year. These pre-1950 production and trade data were digitized and CO2 emission calculations were made following the proceduresmore »« less
The O2 Balance of the Atmosphere: A Tool for Studying the Fate of Fossil-Fuel CO2

Dataset Bender, M. L. ; Battle, M. ; Keeling, R.

Carbon dioxide is a radiatively active gas whose atmospheric concentration increase is likely to affect Earth's climate. CO2 is added to the atmosphere by biomass burning and the combustion of fossil fuels. Some added CO2 remains in the atmosphere. However, substantial amounts are taken up by the oceans and land biosphere, attenuating the atmospheric increase. Atmospheric O2 measurements provide one constraint for partitioning uptake rates between the ocean and the land biosphere. Here we review studies of atmospheric O2 concentration variations and discuss their implications for CO2 uptake by the ocean and the land biosphere.
Global, Regional, and National Fossil-Fuel CO2 Emissions: 1751-2017

Dataset Gilfillan, Dennis ; Marland, Gregg ; Boden, Tom ; ...

This data product is a time series of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuel combustion and cement manufacture. Estimates of CO2 emissions are included for the globe and by nation back to 1751, and include emissions from solid fuel consumption, liquid fuel consumption, gas fuel consumption, cement production, and gas flaring. Per capita CO2 emissions and emissions from international trade (bunker fuels) are included as well; bunker fuels are not included in country totals, but are assigned to the country in which loading took place. Estimates are generated using the United Nations Energy Statistics database and the United Statesmore »« less
