Bangladesh, with a population of 167,310,838 and an urban population of 60,987,417, accounting for approximately 36.45% of the total, has produced 93,175,944 tons of CO2 in 2022.
This translates to a per capita CO2 emission of 0.55 tons, indicating that each individual contributes around 0.55 tons of CO2 annually.
To assess the impact of economic activity on CO2 emissions, it is essential to consider the Carbon Intensity of GDP. In the case of Bangladesh, the Carbon Intensity of GDP is 0.31 kg of CO2 per International dollar ($USD) of economic output.
This figure is lower than that of the United States (0.3 kg) but higher than China (0.57 kg), suggesting that Bangladesh’s economic activity has a relatively moderate impact on CO2 emissions compared to these countries.
Overall, Bangladesh’s total CO2 emissions, per capita emissions, and Carbon Intensity of GDP highlight the country’s efforts to balance economic growth with environmental considerations.
Bangladesh Total CO2 emissions by source
How much do coal, oil, gas, cement and flaring contribute to CO2 emissions in Bangladesh?
In 2022, Bangladesh’s total CO2 emissions reached 93,175,944 metric tons. The primary contributors to these emissions were coal, accounting for 14.85 million metric tons, and gas, with 58.74 million metric tons.
Cement made a smaller contribution of 1.47 million metric tons, while flaring accounted for 48,748 metric tons.
Oil emissions amounted to 18.06 million metric tons.
These figures highlight the significant role of coal and gas in Bangladesh’s economy and their correlation with CO2 emissions.
