Greenhouse gas emissions decreased by 18% in Spain in 2020

Greenhouse gas emissions materially sank last year in Spain due to the reduction of activities during the pandemic. Confinement and the drop in transport and production caused the gases that heat the atmosphere to decrease in 2020 by 17.9% compared to the previous year It is the steepest descent in Spanish history. The result was … Continue reading Greenhouse gas emissions decreased by 18% in Spain in 2020

Record High for Global Greenhouse Gas Emissions

CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion and cement production reached 9.7 gigatons of carbon (GtC) in 2012 and may reach 9.9 GtC in 2013. Coal remains a major driver of CO2 emissions, accounting for 54 percent of the emissions increase in 2012. Fossil fuel combustion, together with deforestation and land use change, has pushed the … Continue reading Record High for Global Greenhouse Gas Emissions
