Climate change: GHG emissions in Mexico
CO2 Emissions: 492,862.2 Gg. It contributes 69.5% to the total GHG. It has increased 27% since 1990.
The sectors with the highest percentage contribution of CO2 emissions in 2006 are: transport with 27.2%, 22.8% power generation, manufacturing and construction 11.5%, power consumption of the energy industry with 7.4%, 7.3% agricultural land and others (residential, commercial and agricultural) with 6.2%.
CH4 emissions: 8828.1 Gg. It represents an increase of 73.7% since 1990.
The sectors with the highest percentage contribution of CH4 emissions in 2006 are: solid waste disposal in soil with 27.6%, management and treatment of wastewater with 24.9%, fugitive emissions from oil and gas with 24.3% and 20.1% with enteric fermentation.
N2O emissions: 66.2 Gg. This represents an increase of 86.7% over 1990.
The main contribution comes from the transport 49.5%, 34% agricultural soils, and management and wastewater treatment with 10% collectively account for 93.5% of N2Oemissions in 2006.
HFCs, PFCs and SF6 emissions:
HFCs: 9586.4 Gg CO2 equivalent units, representing an increase of 1.236% compared to 1990. Their emissions are from the refrigeration and air conditioning to replace CFCs controlled by the Montreal Protocol.
PFCs: 161.3 Gg CO2 equivalent units in 2003. The main contribution comes from the aluminum production classified in the category Industrial Processes. The last plant was closed in 2004 and thereby fails to produce aluminum in the country.
SF6: 654.1 Gg CO2 equivalent units in 2006, representing an increase of 90% compared to 1990 emissions. Potential emissions originate as equipment and electrical circuits.
