Carbon Footprint Per Country. This is a list of countries by carbon dioxide emissions per capita per year. Country CO 2 emissions total 1. While Australia is on 206 tonnes per person partly because of its reliance on CO2-intensive coal and the UK is half that at 97 explained in part. Australia has an average per capita footprint of 17 tonnes followed by the US at 162 tonnes and Canada at 156 tonnes.
China produces the highest CO 2 emission of any country in the world followed by the United States. While Australia is on 206 tonnes per person partly because of its reliance on CO2-intensive coal and the UK is half that at 97 explained in part. 210 Zeilen Country CO2 Emissions tons 2016 1 Year Change Population 2016 Per capita. 21 Zeilen China is the largest emitter of CO2 in the world with about 93 GT of carbon dioxide. Driven by higher energy demand in 2018 global energy-related CO2 emissions rose 17 to a historic high of 331 Gt CO 2. Projections based on the ITFs International Freight.
Other greenhouse gases are emitted in smaller quantities but they trap heat far more effectively than CO2 and in some cases are thousands of times stronger.
More populous countries with some of the highest per capita emissions and therefore high total emissions are the United States Australia and Canada. 210 Zeilen Country CO2 Emissions tons 2016 1 Year Change Population 2016 Per capita. Australia has an average per capita footprint of 17 tonnes followed by the US at 162 tonnes and Canada at 156 tonnes. Emissions mainly through freight transport. Wyoming has the highest CO₂ emissions per capita at 110 metric tons while New York has the lowest with under 9 metric tons according to US Energy Information Administration figures from 2015.
