Table 19.3 - Effects on carbon dioxide emissions of eliminating subsidies on commercial energy in Central and Eastern Europe
Source: Adapted from World Bank, 1992
  | Estimated change in Central and Eastern Europe |
---|---|
Estimated reduction in CO2 emissions, 1995 | |
Amount (millions of tonnes of carbon) | 446MtC |
As share of projected Central and Eastern European emissions | 29% |
As share of projected global emissions | 7% |
Cumulative CO2 reduction, 19912000 | |
Amount (millions of tonnes of carbon) | 3796MtC |
As share of projected Central and Eastern European emissions | 24% |
As share of projected global emissions | 6% |
Note: The base case is derived from World Bank projections of energy demand. In this scenario, worldwide CO2 emissions increase by about 20 per cent between 1990 and 2000.
