Global CO2 emissions from fossil fuels annually since 1750 through 2024. ## Data Data comes from the [Global Carbon Project (GCP)](https://globalcarbonproject.org/) annual Global Carbon Budget release. - **Source:** Andrew, R. M., & Peters, G. P. (2025). *The Global Carbon Project's fossil CO2 emissions dataset* (2025v15). Zenodo. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17417124 - **Coverage:** 1750–2024 (updated annually each December after the GCP release) - **Units:** `global.csv` values are in million metric tonnes of Carbon (MtC). `data/fuel-breakdown.csv` values are in million metric tonnes of CO2 (MtCO2). ## Updating Run the update script to fetch the latest GCP data: ```bash python3 scripts/update.py ``` This fetches the GCP flat CSV from Zenodo, filters for global aggregates, converts units, and overwrites `global.csv` and `data/fuel-breakdown.csv`. A GitHub Actions workflow runs this automatically each December. To update to a specific GCP release, edit the `GCP_URL` constant in `scripts/update.py`. ## Citation Please cite the upstream source as: > Andrew, R. M., & Peters, G. P. (2025).
