CO2 intensity (kg per kg of oil equivalent energy use)

This indicator measures the carbon dioxide emissions associated with energy consumption expressed in terms of oil equivalent, highlighting the environmental impact of different energy sources. It captures the efficiency and sustainability of energy resources by illustrating how much CO2 is released per unit of energy consumed, providing a crucial context for understanding the carbon footprint of various fuels. With a focus on fossil fuels, this metric emphasizes the importance of transitioning to cleaner energy alternatives, such as renewables and low-carbon technologies. By analyzing changing trends in emissions alongside energy use, policymakers can make informed decisions to mitigate climate change and promote energy efficiency initiatives. Source:
