Carbon intensity

Chapter 10 in Elgar Encyclopedia of Energy Economics, 2025, pp 41-44 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: An analysis is presented of the evolution of carbon emissions in the period 1990–2019, assuming that the carbon intensity was “frozen” at the 1990 level. The carbon emissions of the United States and European Union were reduced due to a steady decline of the carbon intensity, but the world's emissions continue to grow because, for most of the developing countries, their carbon intensity has remained practically constant since 1990. As an example, the evolution of emissions in Brazil and Indonesia is presented.
