Moldova, a country with a population of 2,657,637 and an urban population of 1,135,502, accounting for approximately 42.73% of the total, has produced 5,601,510 tons of CO2 in 2022.
This translates to a per capita CO2 emissions of 1.83 tons, indicating that each individual generates around 1.83 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 Moldova, the Carbon Intensity of GDP is 0.47 kg of CO2 per International dollar ($USD) of economic output produced.
This figure is higher than that of both the USA (0.3 kg) and China (0.57 kg), suggesting that Moldova’s economic activity has a relatively higher carbon footprint.
Moldova Total CO2 emissions by source
How much do coal, oil, gas, cement and flaring contribute to CO2 emissions in Moldova?
In 2022, Moldova’s total CO2 emissions reached 5,601,510 metric tons. The primary contributors to these emissions were coal, accounting for 416,131 metric tons, and oil, with 2,612,844 metric tons.
