Cuba, with a population of 11,333,483 and an urban population of 8,739,135, accounting for 77.11% of the total, has produced 22,057,330 tons of CO2 in 2022. This translates to a per capita CO2 emissions of 1.96 tons, indicating that each person generates approximately 2 tons of CO2 annually.
To assess the impact of economic activity on CO2 emissions, it is crucial to examine the Carbon Intensity of GDP. In the case of Cuba, the Carbon Intensity of GDP is 0.22 kg of CO2 per International dollar ($USD) of economic output produced.
This figure is lower than both the USA (0.3 kg) and China (0.57 kg), suggesting that Cuba’s economic activity has a relatively lower impact on CO2 emissions compared to these countries.
Cuba Total CO2 emissions by source
How much do coal, oil, gas, cement and flaring contribute to CO2 emissions in Cuba?
In 2022, Cuba’s total carbon dioxide emissions reached 22,057,330 metric tons. The primary sources of these emissions were coal, accounting for 5,078 metric tons, and oil, with 19,137,243 metric tons.
Gas contributed significantly with 2,209,094 metric tons, while cement and flaring made smaller contributions of 633,291 and 72,624 metric tons, respectively.
These figures highlight the significant role of oil and gas in Cuba’s economy and their correlation with CO2 emissions.
