Environmental Sustainability and CO2 Emission in Middle East Countries
Abstract
Effort has been made for an overview of CO2 emission over the world, considering the per capita CO2 emission. Data analysis were made using IEA web site and more reports of Energy Balance of Iran. Consideration were made for CO2 emission in Middle East countries especially Iran. The situation of Iran between Middle East Country, from the point of CO2 release has been distinguished as the 4th. .Therefore, Consideration has been made for United Arab Emirate, Iraq and Saudi Arabia respectively. The emissioner countries consideration over the world has been made for U.S.A as the first and China as the second. While Iran is one of the last for the least rate of CO2 emission release into the atmosphere.Other consideration has been made for per capita CO2 emission over the world.Which has distinguished U.S.A, Australia, Canada, Saudi Arabia, Russia and others respectively. Although Iran per capita CO2 emission is low but it seems greater than Mexico, Turkey, China and India .Which could indicate Iran as a big consumer of energy .Therefore the data analysis of GHG in Iran is mostly due to fossil fuels .The consideration for CO2 equivalent reduction during 2001-2005 could considerably being covered for SO2, SO3, CH and SPM especially in 2004. Which is of great interest from the point of cost of energy generation.
