Foreign greenhouse gas emissions by country, generated by total Spanish imports.

Scope
International trade
Action line
Environmental Emission Indicators
Description
Measures the foreign greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions generated abroad for Spain's total imports, broken down by emitting country.
Observations

Example: GHG emissions generated in China for Spain’s imports amounted to 42,330 thousand tonnes of CO2 equivalent in 2022.

Calculation method

\(g^{\text{s}} L^{\text{s}} e^{\text{s,ES}} \quad s =\text{Greenhouse gas emitting country}\)

Where: \( g^{\text{s}} \) is the vector of emissions per unit of output of the industries in the emitting country, \( L^{\text{s}} \) is the domestic Leontief inverse for emitting economy, and \( e^{\text{s,ES}} \) represents the imports into Spain, broken down by industry and emitting country.

Unit of measure
Thousands of Tons CO2 equivalent
