CO₂ EMISSION FROM THE STATE OF KUWAIT
The article is published by Eng.

The total carbon
dioxide - CO₂ - emission from the State of Kuwait is
estimated to be around 77,000 KT per year. This value locates the State of
Kuwait in the rank of 47 – Globally. Then, this article is published as we are
response about such issue and to aware people about such factors which can be
controlled and minimize.
As per 2008 data, the total carbon dioxide - CO₂ - emission from Kuwait is calculated to be around 76,743 KT.
At the same time, the CO₂ gas emission is expected to reach 100,000 KT by the year 2030
( +30.3% ), which mean increasing by 1.4% per year. The following trend shows
the previous CO₂ emission from Kuwait, in addition to
the forecasting one – at the same rate,
From another hand, the total CO₂ emission from Kuwait is equivalent
to almost 5.08% , 3.7% and 0.24% of the total CO₂ emissions produced by the Arab
World, Middle East and the whole world– respectively.
Additionally,
this high CO₂ emissions generated by the state of Kuwait is equivalent to
most of European manufacturing countries such as Switzerland and Denmark – in

CO₂
As it is
shown below, almost two third the total CO₂ emission is generated from the
Electricity and Heat, and Transport sectors. Thus, these two sectors are much
critical in term of minimizing the CO₂ emission

Finally, let
us work together to minimize the CO₂ emission to have better life for our
self and the next generation, which can be achieved by the following:
1- Used the energy at
the efficient.
2- Apply the Green
building subject.
3- Used Technology
(telecommunication, teleconference, …etc).
4- Alternative
energy
