CARBONDIOXIDE EMISSIONS

GDP AND FINAL ENERGYCONSUMPTION

ENERGY AND ELECTRICITYCONSUMPTION PER CAPITA

In 2014, total carbon dioxide emissions decreased by 12% since 2013, mainly as a result of

the lower consumption of oil products for electricity generation, which resulted in a drop of

62% in the emissions from public service electricity plants. The emissions originated from

the use of fuels in the different sectors increased 1% in the last year.

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and

Final energy consumption had similar

behaviour in the period 1997-2014. After

having the minimum levels in 2002-2003

as a consequence of the economic crisis,

both indicators recovered an increasing

tendency. Between 2006 and 2009, energy

consumption grew with higher annual rates

than GDP; it should be noted, in special,

the great growth of the industrial sector

in 2008, which changed the consumption

structure of the country. Between 2010

and 2012, the situation was reversed, with

lower growth in energy consumption than

in GDP. In the years 2013 and 2014, final

energy consumption grew again with a

higher annual rate than GDP, of 6% and

3% for the last year, respectively.

In 2014, CO2 emissions reported as Memo Items

were higher than the total emissions of the

energy sector. Emissions from biomass fuels

increased by 16% in the last year, while the

emissions originated in international bunkers

(aviation and marine) decreased 3% between

2013 and 2014.

CO2 emissions have shown some variability

throughouttheperi od1997-2014;however, they

have accompanied the evolution of GDP. The

large variations occurring in CO2 emissions

are closely associated with the variations in

emissionsfrompublicserviceelectricityplants,

due to higher or lower consumption of fossil

fuels to generate electricity. The year 2014

showed similar behavior to 2007 and 2010

in terms of good availability of hydropower,

situation that represented lower CO2 emissions

compared to other years with lower levels of

rainfall, and therefore higher consumptions

of oil products for power generation.

Regarding CO2 emissions per capita, there was

a net growth throughout the period with great

variation, as well. The minimum of emissions

was recorded in 2003 (1.2 t/inhab), whereas

CO2 emissions reached their maximum levels

in 2012 (2.4 t/inhab) followed by a drop in

2014 (1.8 t/inhab).

Regardingenergy andelectrici tyconsumption

per capita, both indicators displayed similar

behaviour throughout the period 1965-

2014. Until 1999-2000, the upward trend

was greater for electricity consumption, but

was interrupted by the economic crisis. Since

2004 this situation has changed and the

consumption of energy and electricity per

capita has regained its tendency to increase,

which has continued in 2014.
