Rise in global energy-related CO2 emissions in 2017

The rebound in Chinese coal consumption, after a 3-year drop, strongly drove this trend.

Enerdata estimates a +2% growth of global energy-related CO2 emissions in 2017. Based on monthly data gathered for key countries, this results shows a significant change in the trend, after a 3-year period of stability. The gap with a 2° scenario increases…

Hereunder are the key learnings of this analysis.

The CO2 emissions growth in 2017 can be attributed to higher coal consumption. Global coal consumption is estimated to have increased noticeably in 2017 due to a rebound in China (+3.7%), steady growth in India (nearly +4%) and stabilization in the United States (+1%) after a 3-year decline (-20% between 2013 and 2016).

How can effective emissions managment improve your business strategy? On September 9th, Enerdata will present a one-day workshop in Kintex, Seoul, South Korea, providing thorough knowledge on energy-emission reduction mechanisms and development opportunities in Asia's ever-evolving energy market.
