How Carbon Intensity Effects Kaya
Population
2014 Population Growth Rates USA:.77 Definition: The average annual percent change in the population, resulting from a surplus (or deficit) of births over deaths and the balance of migrants entering and leaving a country. The rate may be positive or negative. The growth rate is a factor in determining how great a burden would be imposed on a country by the changing needs of its people for infrastructure (e.g., schools, hospitals, housing, roads), resources (e.g., food, water, electricity), and jobs. Rapid population growth can be seen as threatening by neighboring countries. Source: CIA World Factbook - Unless otherwise noted, information in this page is accurate as of January 1, 2014
GDP/Population Luxembourg-10.27x world United states- 5.02x world Source: International Monetary Fund World Economic Outlook
GDP/Population Affluence- average consumption of each person in the population It is assumed that as the GDP increases, consumption of good/services/energy will increase
Energy/GDP The energy intensity required to produce a unit of GDP is falling in most countries of the world China GDP grew by about 10% a year between 1980 and 2005, while energy use grew by a little less than 6% per year Between 2005 and 2010, real GDP continued to grow by about 10% per year, while energy use grew by about 7.5% per year Up until 2005, the USA was able to increase real GDP by 3% per year, while increasing energy use by only 1% per year
CO2/Energy The amount of carbon by weight emitted per unit of energy consumed Can be decomposed into fossil and non-fossil shares, and emissions can be expressed as carbon emissions per unit of fossil energy Scott can you explain how they calculate this?

Decarbonization Declining average carbon intensity of primary energy over time Figure 2-11 shows rate of 0.3% per year decline Global rate is decreasing but in some countries carbon intensity is increasing Median scenarios indicate rate of 1.1% most intensive uses of fossil fuels lead to no reduction Highest decarbonization rate of 2.5% per year indicate complete transition to non fossil fuels Figure 2-11: Global decarbonization of primary energy - historical development and future scenarios, shown as an index (1990 = 1). The median (50th), 5th, 25th, 75th and 95th percentiles of the frequency distribution are shown. Statistics associated with scenarios from the literature do not imply probability of occurrence.
