------Global status of energy-related CO2 emissions---
Trends in energy demand and emissions in 2012 : Global CO2 emissions from fossil-fuel combustion increased again in 2012, reaching a record hi...
gh of 31.6 Gt, according to our preliminary estimates.5 This represents an increase of 0.4 Gt on 2011, or 1.4%, a level that, if continued, would suggest a long-term temperature increase of 3.6 °C or more. The growth in emissions results from an increase in global fossilfuel consumption: 2.7% for natural gas, 1.1% for oil and 0.6% for coal. Taking into account emissions factors that are specific to fuel, sector and region, natural gas and coal each accounted for 44% of the total energy-related CO2 emissions increase in 2012, followed by oil (12%). The global trend masks important regional differences: in 2012, a 3.1% increase in CO2 emissions in non-OECD countries was offset, but only partly, by a 1.2% reduction in emissions in OECD countries (Figure 1.8).
