Uzbekistan, with a population of 33,580,650 and an urban population of 16,935,729, accounting for 50.43% of the total, has produced 121,631,478 tons of CO2 in 2022. This translates to a per capita CO2 emissions of 3.57 tons, indicating that each individual contributes approximately 3.57 tons of CO2 annually.
To assess the impact of economic activity on CO2 emissions, it is valuable to examine the Carbon Intensity of GDP. In the case of Uzbekistan, the Carbon Intensity of GDP stands at 2.10 kg of CO2 per International dollar ($USD) of economic output produced.
This figure is higher than that of both the USA (0.30 kg) and China (0.57 kg), suggesting that Uzbekistan’s economic activity has a relatively higher carbon footprint.
Uzbekistan Total CO2 emissions by source
How much do coal, oil, gas, cement and flaring contribute to CO2 emissions in Uzbekistan?
In 2022, Uzbekistan’s total CO2 emissions reached 121,631,478 metric tons. The primary sources of these emissions were coal and gas, accounting for 8,083,977 and 96,180,973 metric tons respectively.
Additionally, cement contributed 4,679,080 metric tons, while flaring accounted for 881,457 metric tons.
Oil emissions stood at 11,805,991 metric tons.
These figures highlight the significant role of coal and gas in Uzbekistan’s economy and their impact on CO2 emissions.
The relationship between these emissions and GDP remains a crucial aspect to consider for sustainable development.
