About IEA:

The International Energy Agency (IEA), an autonomous agency, was established in November 1974. Its mandate is two-fold: to promote energy security amongst its member countries through collective response to physical disruptions in oil supply and to advise member countries on sound energy policy. The IEA carries out a comprehensive programme of energy co-operation among 28 advanced economies, each of which is obliged to hold oil stocks equivalent to 90 days of its net imports.

Introduction:

In recognition of fundamental changes in the way governments approach energy-related environmental issues, the IEA has prepared this publication on CO2 emissions 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 negotiations such as the Conference of the Parties.

The sixteenth session of the Conference of the Parties to the Climate Change Convention (COP 16), in conjunction with the sixth meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol (CMP 6), will be meeting in Cancún Mexico from 29 November to 10 December 2010. 

The data in this book are designed to assist in understanding the evolution of the emissions of CO2 from 1971 to 2008 for more than 140 countries and regions by sector and by fuel. Emissions were calculated using IEA energy databases and the default methods and emission factors from the Revised 1996 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories.

This annual publication contains:
  • estimates of CO2 emissions by country from 1971 to 2008,
  • selected indicators such as CO2/GDP, CO2/capita, CO2/TPES and CO2/kWh,
  • CO2 emissions from international marine and aviation bunkers, and other relevant information.
This report is published under the responsibility of Executive Director of the IEA, Nobuo Tanaka, and does not necessarily reflect the views of IEA member countries.
