Hungary, with a population of 9,769,949 and an urban population of 6,999,582, accounting for 71.64% of the total, has produced 48,454,619 tons of CO2 in 2022. This translates to a per capita CO2 emissions of 4.99 tons, indicating that each person generates approximately 5 tons of CO2 annually.
To assess the impact of economic activity on CO2 emissions, it is crucial to consider the Carbon Intensity of GDP. In Hungary, this figure stands at 0.30 kg of CO2 per International dollar ($USD) of economic output produced.
Comparatively, Hungary’s carbon intensity is lower than that of the USA (0.3 kg) and China (0.57 kg), indicating a relatively more efficient use of resources in terms of CO2 emissions.
Hungary Total CO2 emissions by source
How much do coal, oil, gas, cement and flaring contribute to CO2 emissions in Hungary?
In 2022, Hungary’s total CO2 emissions reached 48,454,619 metric tons. The primary sources of these emissions were coal, accounting for 6,391,263 metric tons, and gas, with 22,112,327 metric tons.
Cement made a smaller contribution of 928,787 metric tons, while flaring accounted for 162,081 metric tons.
Notably, oil was responsible for 18,375,345 metric tons of emissions.
These figures underscore the significant role of coal and gas in Hungary’s economy and their correlation with CO2 emissions.
