Albania, with a population of 2.85 million and an urban population of 1.75 million, accounting for 61.23% of the total, has produced 4,619,109 tons of CO2 in 2022. This translates to a per capita CO2 emission of 1.62 tons, indicating that each person generates approximately 1.6 tons of CO2 annually.
To assess the impact of economic activity on CO2 emissions, it is valuable to examine the Carbon Intensity of GDP. In the case of Albania, the Carbon Intensity of GDP is 0.30 kg of CO2 per dollar, which is lower than both the USA (0.57 kg) and China (1.04 kg).
This measurement indicates that Albania’s economic output produces relatively fewer CO2 emissions compared to these countries.
