International Comparison of Carbon Dioxide Emissions From Fuel Combustion of BRICS

Abstract:

Based on the latest national carbon dioxide emissions data released from the International Energy Agency (IEA), the carbon dioxide emissions trends of BRICS were analyzed in three aspects: the total carbon dioxide emissions, the emission intensity calculated using purchasing power parties (PPP) and per capita carbon dioxide emissions. The results show that the total carbon dioxide emissions among BRICS presented an increasing trend in different extent. On the other hand, the emission intensity calculated using PPP of BRICS showed a decreasing trend. The per capita carbon dioxide emissions of BRICS also presented an increasing trend in different extent. The Russian Federation and South Africa’s per capita carbon dioxide emissions were higher than the World’s average level, whilst those of India, Brazil and China were lower than the World’s average level, which is far less than the level of the OECD countries.
