3 days ago · The EU defends its policy as a necessary measure to drive down emissions. But for Beijing, CBAM is an example of green protectionism, says Yan Qin, a carbon analyst at London Stock Exchange Group.
Demand for fossil fuels was hardest hit in 2020 – especially oil, which plunged 8.6%, and coal, which dropped by 4%. Oil’s annual decline was its largest ever, accounting for more than half of the drop in global emissions. Global emissions from oil use plummeted by well over 1 100 Mt CO2, down from around 11 400 Mt in 2019.
The average CO 2 emissions intensity of electricity generation declined by nearly 6.5% in 2019, a rate three times faster than the average over the past decade. In absolute terms, an average emissions intensity of 340 grams of CO 2 per kilowatt hour in 2019 is lower than all but the most efficient gas-fired power plants.
