Carbon dioxide emissions per capita, 2020: The average for 2020 based on 27 countries was 5.54 metric tons. The highest value was in Luxembourg: 12.46 metric tons and the lowest value was in Malta: 3.13 metric tons. The indicator is available from 1990 to 2020. Below is a chart for all countries where data are available.
If the EV sales growth experienced in recent years is sustained, CO2 emissions from cars can be put on a path in line with the Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario. However, despite huge growth in China, some European countries and some U.S. states, electric vehicles are not yet a global phenomenon.
A European Union plan to charge fuel suppliers for the CO2 emitted by cars and home-heating has split member states and looks set to dominate negotiations on how to tackle climate change in 2022.
The EU is still one of the largest emitters placing sixth with 7.2 tons of CO2 per capita while the world average is approximately 6.3 tons per capita. India overtakes China as the worldâs most
The contribution of CCUS to the energy transition will vary considerably across countries and regions. In the Sustainable Development Scenario, China sees the largest deployment of CCUS, accounting for around one-quarter of all the CO 2 captured cumulatively to 2070. Europe and North America âtwo other key regions for CCUS activity â also

The EU wants to introduce CO2 emissions costs on imports of steel, cement, fertilisers, aluminium and electricity, a move aimed at protecting European industry from being undercut by cheaper goods
Global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuels and cement have rebounded by 4.9% this year, new estimates suggest, following a Covid-related dip of 5.4% in 2020. The Global Carbon Project (GCP) projects that fossil emissions in 2021 will reach 36.4bn tonnes of CO2 (GtCO2), only 0.8% below their pre-pandemic high of 36.7GtCO2 in 2019.
