CO2 emission dynamics across Brazilian economic sectors and time based on a comprehensive statistical study from 2019 to 2024
摘要
This study examines CO2 emissions in Brazil from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2024, analyzing statistical differences across sectors (‘Domestic Aviation’, ‘Ground Transport’, ‘Industry’, ‘International Aviation’, ‘Power’ and ‘Residential’), years, months, and days of the week. Significant differences were found between all economic sectors, with the largest difference observed between “Ground Transport” and “International Aviation”, showing an average gap of 0.441 MtCO2 per day. CO2 emissions throughout each year show a seasonal pattern. Monthly emissions were consistent, except for April, which recorded the lowest emissions, and August to November, which exhibited the highest, indicating a seasonal pattern. Emissions were similar throughout the week, except for Sundays, which showed significantly lower emissions, likely due to decreased economic and transportation activities. This article offers a comprehensive synthesis and analysis of the historical evolution of CO2 emissions across different economic sectors in Brazil.
