Definitions

Data refer to net carbon dioxide emission per Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in Chained (2015) dollars.

Concepts

Data on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from fuel combustion (Gg CO2) are estimated using 2006 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories and Global Warming Potential values from the IPCC 5th Assessment Report. In accordance with 2006 IPCC Guidelines, figures may be periodically updated as more accurate data are made available.

Computational Method

[Net carbon dioxide from fuel combustion (Gg CO2)] / [GDP in Chained (2015) dollars (millions)]
