In the lead-up to the UN climate negotiations in Durban, South Africa, the latest information on the level and growth of CO 2 emissions, their source and geographic distribution will be essential to lay the foundation for a global agreement. To provide input to and support for the UN process, the IEA is making available for free download – the “Highlights” version of CO 2 Emissions from Fuel Combustion. The PDF publication and an EXCEL file with the tables can be downloaded for free at www.iea.org/co2highlights. Recent years have witnessed a fundamental change in the way governments approach energy-related environ- mental issues. Promoting sustainable development and combating climate change have become integral aspects of energy planning, analysis and policy making in many countries, including all IEA member states. The purpose of this volume is to put our best and most current information in the hands of those who need it, in- cluding in particular the participants in the UNFCCC process. The IEA Secretariat is a contributor to the official Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) methodologies for estimating greenhouse-gas emissions. The IEA’s energy data are the figures most often cited in the field. For these reasons, we felt it appropriate to publish this information in a comprehensive form. These data are only for energy-related CO 2 , not for any other greenhouse gases. Thus they may differ from countries' official submissions of emissions inventories to the UNFCCC Secretariat. However, the full-scale study contains data for CO 2 from non-energy-related sources and gas flaring, and emissions of CH 4 , N 2 O, HFC, PFC and SF 6 . In addition, the full-scale study also includes information on “Key Sources” from fuel combustion, as developed in the IPCC Good Practice Guidance and Uncertainty Management in National Greenhouse Gas Inventories.
