Directory of Carbon Capture and Offset Projects

Directory of Carbon Capture and Offset Projects - Netzero Accelerator James Scott DC

The “Directory of Carbon Capture and Offset Projects” provides a comprehensive database of verified carbon offset projects, allowing users to browse and analyze project performance and impact. Featuring data from public project registries and Our World in Data, this tool offers detailed metrics on emissions reductions and project outcomes over time. Users can filter projects by region, type (such as reforestation or carbon capture), and access visualizations of project impact using real-time data. With a focus on verified reductions, the directory helps track the effectiveness and location of carbon offset initiatives worldwide.

CO₂ emissions dataset

The data shows that fossil CO2 emissions include emissions from coal, oil, gas, flaring, cement, steel, and other industrial processes. Notably, these emissions do not include land use change, deforestation, soils, or vegetation, highlighting the significant impact of human activities on the environment.

According to the data, the world has emitted over 34 billion tonnes of CO2 each year, with a significant increase of over 60% since 1990. The United States leads the ranking with 397 GtCO2, followed by China with 11.4% of cumulative CO2 emissions. The primary sources of greenhouse gas emissions are electricity and heat (31%), agriculture (11%), transportation (15%), forestry (6%), and manufacturing (12%). These charts and data provide valuable information on the historical

Cumulative CO₂ emissions

The cumulative CO2 emissions chart provides a visual representation of the total amount of carbon dioxide emitted by different regions and countries over time.

Global Emissions: The world has emitted over 34 billion tonnes of CO2 each year, with a significant increase of over 60% since 1990. As of 2019, the United States leads the ranking with 397 GtCO2, followed by China with 11.4% of cumulative CO2 emissions.

Country-wise Emissions: A bar chart race shows the countries with the largest cumulative CO2 emissions since 1750, with the United States, China, and other major countries contributing significantly to the total emissions.
Sector-wise Emissions: The primary sources of greenhouse gas emissions are electricity and heat (31%), agriculture (11%), transportation (15%), forestry (6%), and manufacturing (12%).
