Energy sector CO2 emissions hit record in 2022

Global energy sector carbon dioxide emissions hit a record peak last year counter to Paris commitments, a key study warned yesterday, and highlighted the "worst ever" impacts of climate change. UK-based Energy Institute laid out the main findings of its Statistical Review of World Energy, conducted with consultancies Kearney and KPMG. "Carbon dioxide emissions from energy use, industrial processes, flaring and methane... continued to rise to a new high growing 0.8 percent in 2022," read the study.
