ENERGY demands across the world drove carbon emissions to record breaking levels last year, according to a study published today by International Energy Agency (IEA).
Demand for energy grew by 2.3 per cent worldwide last year, its fastest pace this decade, the IEA report said.
“Demand for all fuels increased, with fossil fuels meeting nearly 70 per cent of the growth for the second year running.”
The world’s demand for coal, oil and natural gas all increased, resulting in a 1.7 per cent rise in global energy-related CO2 emissions.
