Cape Verde, with a population of 483,628 and an urban population of 364,029, accounting for approximately 75.27% of the total, has produced 667,694 tons of CO2 in 2022. This translates to a per capita CO2 emission of 1.14 tons, indicating that each individual generates around 1.14 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 Cape Verde, the Carbon Intensity of GDP is 0.34 kg of CO2 per International dollar ($USD) of economic output produced.
This figure is lower than that of China (0.57 kg) but higher than that of the USA (0.30 kg).
These statistics shed light on Cape Verde’s CO2 emissions, highlighting the country’s efforts in managing and reducing its carbon footprint.
Cape Verde Total CO2 emissions by source
How much do coal, oil, gas, cement and flaring contribute to CO2 emissions in Cape Verde?
In 2022, Cape Verde’s total CO2 emissions amounted to 667,694 metric tons. The primary source of these emissions was oil, accounting for the entire carbon footprint.
This correlation with GDP highlights the significance of oil in Cape Verde’s economy and its contribution to CO2 emissions.
The absence of emissions from coal, gas, cement, and flaring indicates a reliance solely on oil for energy production and its impact on the environment.
What fraction of world fossil co2 emissions does Cape Verde accounts?
Cape Verde is the 179th smallest emitter of CO2 in the world. It represents 0.001% of global CO2 emissions.
CO2 emissions from oil in Cape Verde
In Cape Verde, the utilization of oil has led to the generation of 667,694 tons of CO2, representing 100% of the total CO2 emissions.
