We often have a look at the BP statistical review – it’s a useful compendium of energy industry data. \u00a0In the 2013 edition they examine the carbon emissions from energy use.\u00a0 What of these?\u00a0 The IEA view seems to be that renewable energy is starting to make some inroads into emission levels.\u00a0 Is it?\u00a0 Looking at the data for 5 countries two things stand out.\u00a0 The USA and China emit vastly more carbon than anyone else and it does look like the USA’s carbon emissions\u00a0(at least those from electricity production)\u00a0have peaked.\u00a0 The overall global figure rose by 1.9% but many countries in BPs spreadsheet have falling emissions from energy.\u00a0 This includes almost all European countries but also countries in Latin America and Asia.\u00a0 It does look like a high penetration of renewable energy is starting to have an effect.\u00a0 In the long term this bodes well for energy security as well.<\/p>\n

Carbon by country (data from BP).<\/p><\/div>\n

Of course not all carbon emissions are from energy use.\u00a0 The biggest sources are agriculture and forestry.\u00a0 Nevertheless we can take some encouragement from these figures.\u00a0 Even China’s carbon emissions are slowing down.\u00a0 We’ve left it awfully late but just maybe we will manage to have falling emissions by 2020. \u00a0It remains an open question whether this is anything like soon enough, or whether as some climate watchers argue, by then it will be too late.<\/p>\n
