Haiti, with a population of 11,263,077 and an urban population of 6,328,948, accounting for 0.5619% of the total, has a GDP of $8,498,981,821. In 2022, the country produced 2,875,923 tons of CO2, resulting in a per capita emission of 0.2512 tons.
This means that, on average, each person generates approximately 0.25 tons of CO2 annually.
To assess the impact of economic activity on CO2 emissions, it is crucial to consider the Carbon Intensity of GDP. For Haiti, this measure stands at 0.3384 kg of CO2 per International dollar ($USD) of economic output produced.
Comparatively, Haiti’s carbon intensity is higher than that of the USA (0.3 kg) and lower than China (0.57 kg).
Haiti Total CO2 emissions by source
How much do coal, oil, gas, cement and flaring contribute to CO2 emissions in Haiti?
In 2022, Haiti’s total CO2 emissions reached 2,875,923 metric tons. The primary sources of these emissions were oil, accounting for 2,798,387 metric tons, and cement, contributing 77,537 metric tons.
These figures highlight the significant role of oil in Haiti’s economy and its correlation with CO2 emissions.
The absence of coal and gas emissions indicates a different energy landscape.
The correlation between GDP and CO2 emissions in Haiti warrants further analysis to understand the economic and environmental dynamics.
