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

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

Carbon Dioxide Emission Estimates from Fossil-Fuel Burning\, Hydraulic Cement Production\, and Gas Flaring for 1995 on a One Degree Grid Cell Basis

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

The 2016 version of this database presents a time series recording 1° latitude by 1° longitude CO2 emissions in units of million metric tons of carbon per year from anthropogenic sources for 1751-2013. Detailed geographic information on CO2 emissions can be critical in understanding the pattern of the atmospheric and biospheric response to these emissions. Global, regional, and national annual estimates for 1751 through 2013 were published earlier (Boden et al. 2016). Those national, annual CO2 emission estimates were based on statistics about fossil-fuel burning, cement manufacturing and gas flaring in oil fields as well as energy production, consumption, andmore »« less

Dataset Andres, R.J. ; Marland, G. ; Fung, I. ; ...

This data package presents data sets recording 1° latitude by 1° longitude CO2 emissions in units of thousand metric tons of carbon per year from anthropogenic sources for 1950, 1960, 1970, 1980, and 1990. Detailed geographic information on CO2 emissions can be critical in understanding the pattern of the atmospheric and biospheric response to these emissions. Global, regional, and national annual estimates for 1950 through 1992 were published previously. Those national, annual CO2 emission estimates were based on statistics about fossil-fuel burning, cement manufacturing and gas flaring in oil fields as well as energy production, consumption, and trade data, usingmore »« less
