CO EMISSIONS

FROM FUEL COMBUSTION
In recognition of fundamental changes in the way governments approach energy
related environmental issues, the IEA has prepared this publication on CO emissions
2
from fuel combustion. This annual publication was first published in 1997 and has
become an essential tool for analysts and policy makers in many international fora
such as the Conference of the Parties, which will be meeting in Paris, France from 30
November to 11 December 2015.
The data in this book are designed to assist in understanding the evolution of the
emissions of CO from 1971 to 2013 for more than 140 countries and regions by
2
sector and by fuel. Emissions were calculated using IEA energy databases and the
default methods and emission factors from the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National
Greenhouse Gas Inventories.

INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY
The International Energy Agency (IEA), an autonomous agency, was established in November 1974.
Its primary mandate was – and is – two-fold: to promote energy security amongst its member
countries through collective response to physical disruptions in oil supply, and provide authoritative
research and analysis on ways to ensure reliable, affordable and clean energy for its 29 member
countries and beyond. The IEA carries out a comprehensive programme of energy co-operation among
its member countries, each of which is obliged to hold oil stocks equivalent to 90 days of its net imports.
The Agency’s aims include the following objectives:
n Secure member countries’ access to reliable and ample supplies of all forms of energy; in particular,
through maintaining effective emergency response capabilities in case of oil supply disruptions.
n Promote sustainable energy policies that spur economic growth and environmental protection
in a global context – particularly in terms of reducing greenhouse-gas emissions that contribute
to climate change.
n Improve transparency of international markets through collection and analysis of
energy data.
n Support global collaboration on energy technology to secure future energy supplies
and mitigate their environmental impact, including through improved energy
efficiency and development and deployment of low-carbon technologies.
n Find solutions to global energy challenges through engagement and
dialogue with non-member countries, industry, international
organisations and other stakeholders.

CO EMISSIONS FROM FUEL COMBUSTION (2015 Edition) - iii

FOREWORD
In recent years, we have seen a fundamental shift in the way governments around the world approach energy-
related environmental issues. Promoting sustainable development and combating climate change have become
integral aspects of energy planning, analysis and policy making both within International Energy Agency (IEA)
member countries, and beyond. Because energy accounts for two-thirds of total greenhouse gas emissions and
80% of CO , any effort to reduce emissions and mitigate climate change must include the energy sector. As a
2
result, climate change has become a key focus of IEA work.
Any energy-related policy to address climate change needs to be based on accurate data. In the lead-up to the UN
climate negotiations at COP 21 in Paris, France, the latest information on the level and growth of CO emissions
2
from fuel combustion, their source and geographic distribution will be essential in laying the foundation for a
global agreement.
Therefore, the IEA Secretariat has prepared this publication to provide the most comprehensive estimates of CO
2
emissions from fuel combustion across the world and across the sectors of the global economy. The purpose of
this publication is to place up-to-date and detailed information in the hands of those who need it, including in
particular the participants and decision makers in the UNFCCC process.
Most of the data presented in this publication are for CO emissions from fuel combustion only. Therefore, they
2
may differ from countries' official greenhouse gas inventory submissions to the UNFCCC Secretariat, which
include emissions of other greenhouse gases and from other sources.
This edition includes data from 1971 to 2013 for more than 140 countries and regions worldwide, by sector and by
fuel; as well as a number of CO -related indicators. It is our hope that this breakdown will assist the reader in
2
better understanding the evolution of emissions worldwide.
The IEA will continue to provide evidence-based policy recommendations on climate change and to provide
accurate data to shape the debate.

What’s New?
Updates of methodologies
In this edition, the IEA has transitioned from the Revised 1996 IPCC Guidelines to the 2006 IPCC Guidelines,
in line with Annex I Party reporting to the UNFCCC. The new CO emissions total is now called “CO emis-
2 2
sions from fuel combustion”. For further information on the impact of this changeover, see Part I, Chapter 3:
IEA estimates: Changes under the 2006 IPCC Guidelines.
Revisions to data: People’s Republic of China
In September 2015, the National Bureau of Statistics of China published China’s energy statistics for 2013, as
well as revised statistics for the years 2000 to 2012. NBS supplied the IEA with detailed energy balances for
2011 to 2013. Using these, the IEA revised its 2011-2013 data based on these newly available figures, as pub-
lished in this document. The revisions show significant changes both on the supply and demand side for a num-
ber of energy products, resulting in breaks in time series between 2010 and 2011. Revised data for the years
2000-2010 will be published in the next edition of this publication.
The revised energy balances released by the NBS integrate findings from a national economic census for all
years since 2000. These revised data solve several detailed issues, most importantly the unallocated coal de-
mand that appeared in the recent years of the Chinese energy balance (shown as statistical difference), has been
primarily allocated to final consumption in the industrial sector.
Indicators: decomposition of emissions from electricity generation
In this edition, new graphs present a decomposition of the change in CO emissions from electricity generation
2
over time into the sum of the change in four drivers: CO intensity of the fossil fuel mix, fossil fuel share of
2
electricity generation, thermal efficiency of fossil fuel-fired electricity generation, and total electricity output.
This decomposition helps to assess the relative contributions of these different factors in trends in CO emis-
2
sions from electricity generation.
The layout of the country graphs in Part II has been modified accordingly. For a complete description of the
methodology used, please see Part I, Chapter 2: Indicator sources and methods.
Geographical coverage
The IEA continues to try to expand the coverage of its statistics reports and encourage more countries to col-
laborate on data exchange. This year data have become available for Niger from 2000 to 2013, and have been
included in this edition. Therefore Niger, published separately, has been removed from the region Other Africa
for those years.
Data have also become available for South Sudan for the years 2012 and 2013. Therefore data for Sudan and
South Sudan are presented separately for those years. In addition, data for the former Netherlands Antilles have
been separated into its constituent islands from 2012 onwards. Data for Curaçao include the former Netherlands
Antilles until 2011, after which data refer to Curaçao only, with data for the remaining islands (Bonaire, Saba,
Saint Eustatius and Sint Maarten) included in Other Non-OECD Americas.
In addition, in accordance with Decision 10/CP.17 of the Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC (effective
from 9 January 2013), Cyprus1 has been included in the Annex I regional grouping in this publication.

Kyoto Protocol base years
The year 1990 should be the base year for the estimation and reporting of inventories.
According to the provisions of Article 4.6 of the Convention and Decisions 9/CP.2
and 11/CP.4, the following Annex I Parties that are undergoing the process of transi-
tion to a market economy, are allowed to use a base year or a period of years other
than 1990, as follows:
Bulgaria: to use 1988
Hungary: to use the average of the years 1985 to 1987
Poland: to use 1988
Romania: to use 1989
Slovenia: to use 1986
