Total and per capita territorial, consumption, and transfer emissions or carbon
Additional Background
This database contains total and per capita territorial, consumption, and transfer emissions for countries since 1960.
Territorial emissions reflect carbon dioxide emissions attributed to the country in which they physically occur
Consumption emissions reflect carbon dioxide emissions occurring anywhere in the world attributed to the country in which goods and services are consumed. These emissions are adjusted for trade
Transfer emissions reflect the net difference between territorial and consumption emissions; representing the emissions from the production of exports minus the emissions from the production of imports and are sometimes called the “balance of emissions embodied in trade.
Coal emissions reflect carbon dioxide emissions from the oxidation of coal
Oil emissions reflect carbon dioxide emissions from the oxidation of oil
Gas emissions reflect carbon dioxide emissions from the oxidation of gas
Gas flaring emissions reflect carbon dioxide emissions from the combustion of vented natural gas and the venting of CO2 in the oil and gas industry converting methane into carbon dioxide
Cement emissions reflect carbon dioxide emissions from chemical reactions in the manufacture of cement.
For more information on these defintions, see: Section 2.1.3, Global Carbon Budget 1959-2018, Friedlingstein et al. 2019.

Format or style, from the American Psychological Association, is commonly used for footnotes in behavioral and social science publications. APA citation is an author-year-system. It is one of the most common styles used and taught at colleges and high schools.
See here for more details, including APA formatting for bibliographies.
Chicago
Format or style (also known as Turabian), created by the University of Chicago, is commonly used for footnotes in history, business, and fine arts and occasionally in the humanities, sciences, and social sciences. The Chicago style has two systems of citation. The author-date system (most common in social sciences and sciences) cites sources parenthetically in the text.
The notes and bibliography system (most common in humanities) cites sources in numbered footnotes or endnotes which correspond to a superscript number in the text. See here for more details, including Chicago formatting for bibliographies.
MLA
Modern Language Association (MLA) format or style is most commonly used for footnotes in the language arts, cultural studies, liberal arts, and humanities. MLA uses short parenthetical citations within the text that are linked to an alphabetical list of work cited at the end of the document. MLA commonly cites using this format: author's last name, first name, title, publication, edition or chapter, and year.
See here for more details, including MLA formatting for bibliographies.
AMA
American Medical Association (AMA) format or style is most commonly used for footnotes in medicine, biomedical research, nursing, dentistry, and other life sciences. AMA uses numerical superscript for citing sources in-text and refers to a list at the end of the work. These references appear in sequential order of when the sources were cited, instead of alphabetical order.
