WORLD CO2 EMISSIONS STATISITICS IN 2010 Consistent with the surge in energy consumption, CO2 emissions from fuel combustion boomed by 6% in 2010 and exceeded their 2009 levels by 30%.
Emissions from OECD countries represented 41% of the world emissions, but increased at a slower pace than the world average (3.8%). In the United States, emissions rose faster than in Europe (4% vs. around 3% on average in Europe), while Japan experienced a surge in its emissions (+7.6%) after a severe drop in 2009. In 2010, US emissions are 12% above their 1990 levels.
In Asia, CO2 emissions grew dramatically due to economic growth and the fossil-based energy mix. China, the world’s largest emitter (35% more than the US), posted a 6.7% increase in its emissions and has a growing share of world emissions (25% in 2010). CO2 emissions also increased sharply in other large emitters among emerging countries, such as India (+5%) and Russia (+11%). CO2 emissions are more than three times their 1990 levels in China, India and Indonesia.
