Abstract

Worldwide anthropogenic CO2 emissions were around 26,Gt CO2/year in the year 2005. This quantity can be attributed to the use of crude oil, coal and natural gas, contributing 40, 40 and 20%, respectively. Around 60% of the total emissions can be put down to roughly 8,000 big emitters, each with annual CO2 emissions larger than 0.1 Mt CO2/year. Electrical power production, with roughly 5,000 large power plants having emissions of more than 0.1 Mt CO2/year, has a share of around 45% of the emissions worldwide.
