9.4.1 CO2 emission per unit of value added

9.4 By 2030, upgrade infrastructure and retrofit industries to make them sustainable, with increased resource-use efficiency and greater adoption of clean and environmentally sound technologies and industrial processes, with all countries taking action in accordance with their respective capabilities

Goal 9. Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation

Carbon dioxide (here after, CO2) emissions per unit of value added is an indicator computed as ratio between CO2 emissions from fuel combustion and the value added of associated economic activities. The indicator can be computed for the whole economy (total CO2 emissions/GDP) or for specific sectors, notably the manufacturing sector (CO2 emissions from manufacturing industries per manufacturing value added).

The estimates of CO2 emissions from fuel combustion are calculated by the IEA based on the IEA energy data and the default methods and emission factors from the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National GHG Inventories.

CO2 emissions from fuel combustion are estimated based on energy consumption and on the 2006 IPCC Guidelines on National GHG Inventories.

The total intensity of the economy is defined as the ratio of total CO2 emissions from fuel combustion and per unit of GDP. For international comparison purposes, GDP is measured in constant terms at purchasing power parity and the indicator is expressed in kilogrammes of CO2 per constant 2017 USD PPP for the current series.

The sectoral intensity is defined as CO2 emission from manufacturing (in physical measurement unit such as tonnes) divided by manufacturing value added in constant 2015 USD.
