Paraguay, with a population of 7,044,636 and an urban population of 4,359,150, accounting for 61.88% of the total, has produced 8,576,565 tons of CO2 in 2022. This translates to a per capita CO2 emissions of 1.28 tons, indicating that each person generates approximately 1.28 tons of CO2 annually.
To assess the impact of Paraguay’s economic activity on CO2 emissions, it is crucial to examine the Carbon Intensity of GDP. Paraguay’s Carbon Intensity of GDP is 0.22 kg of CO2 per International dollar ($USD) of economic output produced.
Comparatively, this value is lower than that of the USA (0.3 kg) and China (0.57 kg), suggesting that Paraguay’s economic activity is relatively less carbon-intensive.
Paraguay Total CO2 emissions by source
How much do coal, oil, gas, cement and flaring contribute to CO2 emissions in Paraguay?
In 2022, Paraguay’s total CO2 emissions reached 8,576,565 metric tons. The primary contributors to these emissions were coal, accounting for 1,891 metric tons, and oil, with a significant contribution of 8,171,023 metric tons.
Notably, gas and flaring had no significant emissions, while cement contributed 403,650 metric tons.
These figures underscore the substantial impact of coal and oil on Paraguay’s economy and the resulting CO2 emissions.
Furthermore, a correlation analysis between these emissions and GDP can provide valuable insights into the environmental and economic dynamics of the country.
