International Transport Forum Transport CO2 Emissions
Greenhouse Gas Reduction Strategies in the Transport Sector (2008) -- Preliminary Report Key Transport and Greenhouse Gas Indicators: Information by CountryCountry Table Key (see notes below for details and sources)
Notes on Country Transport and Greenhouse Gas Tables These tables contain detailed data on Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuel combustion in member countries of the International Transport Forum. CO2 emissions from international aviation and international maritime transport are included in national totals allocated on the basis of fuel sales. There is, however, no internationally agreed allocation methodology for these sectors as of yet. A number of data sources are used in these tables:
UNFCCC and IEA emissions data are based on the default methods and emissions factors from the Revised 1996 IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories. Important Cautionary Note: There are many reasons why the IEA estimates may not be the same as the numbers that a country submits to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), even if a country has accounted for all of its energy use and correctly applied the IPCC Guidelines. In addition, the IEA presents CO2 emissions calculated using both the IPCC Reference Approach and the IPCC Tier 1 Sectoral Approach. In some of the non-OECD countries, there can be large differences between the two sets of calculations due to various problems in some energy data. As a consequence, this can lead to different emission trends between 1990 and 1999 for certain countries. For more details, visit the IEA web-site. Related Information
