CDIAC at App State
The burning of fossil fuels—solids like coal, liquids like gasoline, and gases like natural gas—help power the world's industries and transportation. As a side effect, this combustion (along with the production of cement) produces carbon dioxide, a long-lived gas which absorbs and emits infrared radiation, warming the planet. The CDIAC at App State project uses data about fuel production, imports, exports, stocks, and more to estimate carbon emissions from fossil fuel combustion and cement production for nations around the world.
To get started, click a link below. National figures show carbon emissions by fuel type. Regional figures show total carbon emissions for countries. Mouse over the data to show details, click on the legend to select or unselect data, and click and drag on the chart to zoom in. Once a nation or region is selected in the dropdown menu, you can use the up and down keys to easily switch between nations/regions. The data table shows recent emissions and can be sorted by clicking the table headers.
