Bolivia, with a population of 11,513,100 and an urban population of 8,033,035, accounting for 69.77% of the total, has produced 23,321,669 tons of CO2 in 2022. This translates to a per capita CO2 emission of 1.93 tons, indicating that each person generates approximately 1.93 tons of CO2 annually.
To assess the impact of economic activity on CO2 emissions, it is useful to examine the Carbon Intensity of GDP. In Bolivia, the Carbon Intensity of GDP is 0.57 kg of CO2 per International dollar ($USD) of economic output produced.
This figure is lower than that of Algeria (1.04 kg) but higher than that of China (0.57 kg) and the USA (0.3 kg).
These statistics highlight Bolivia’s contribution to global CO2 emissions and provide insights into the country’s environmental impact.
Bolivia Total CO2 emissions by source
How much do coal, oil, gas, cement and flaring contribute to CO2 emissions in Bolivia?
In 2022, Bolivia’s total CO2 emissions reached 23,321,669 metric tons. The primary contributors to these emissions were coal, accounting for 13,237 metric tons, and oil, with 13,303,710 metric tons.
Gas emissions amounted to 8,523,604 metric tons, while cement and flaring made smaller contributions of 1,419,773 and 61,344 metric tons, respectively.
These figures underscore the significant role of coal and oil in Bolivia’s economy and their correlation with CO2 emissions.
