| CO2 Emissions and Energy Intensity: Worldwide | ||
| "Regional Overview of Per Capita Energy Consumption Trends" "Energy Related CO2 Emissions" |
A stabilisation of per-capita energy consumption by 2030 is not expected to occur anywhere in the world. Between 1990 and 2030, CO2 emissions are expected to more than double. |

| "Evolution from 1971 to 2001 of World CO2 Emissions by Fuel" "Evolution from 1971 to 2001 of World CO2 Emissions by Region" |
42% of world CO2 emissions are accounted for by oil consumption, 38% from coal consumption and 20% from natural gas. OECD countries and Chinan produce the majority of worldwide CO2 emissions. |

| "Energy Intensity" | Energy intensity is projected to sink by 1.5% annually due to more efficient technologies and fundamental changes in the economy. | Diagrams from the Annual Energy Outlook 2003 with Projections to 2025 Energy Information Administration Available online at: http://www.eia.doe.gov/oiaf/aeo/index.html#production |
| "Carbon Dioxide Emissions" "Energy Use Per Capita and Per Dollar of Gross Domestic Product, 1970-2025" |
Energy-related CO2 emissions will rise between 2002 and 2025 by an average of 1.5% per year. Energy intensity is expected to decrease worldwide. |
