Proof Point
U.S. Energy Information Administration expects global carbon intensity to decline 0.32% annually from 2010 to 2040, decreasing to 2.1 tCO2/toe
Global and Selected Countries Carbon Intensity
2010 - 2040F (ton of CO2 per ton of oil equivalent (tCO2/toe))
Proof Point Findings
- Carbon Intensity – Amount of carbon dioxide emitted for energy consumption equivalent to that generated by burning one metric ton of oil
- Decreasing World Carbon Intensity – Forecasted to decrease 0.32% annually between 2010 and 2040, from 2.31 tCO2/toe to 2.1 tCO2/toe
- Significant Reduction in Emerging Markets – Estimated China and India's carbon intensity, among world's highest at 2.91 and 2.73 tCO2/toe in 2010, to decline annually by 0.77% and 0.46% from 2010 to 2040, respectively
- Key Drivers – Include energy dependence shift from fossil fuels to renewable sources, international climate change agreements enforcement, continuous renewable installation projects globally, and proliferation of increasingly energy efficient machines and devices
