Per Capita CO2 Emissions from Flaring

• This interactive map, line graph, and data table show the per capita CO₂ emissions from flaring.
• The interactive media can be adjusted to view this data for countries or continents throughout the world, starting from the year 1750.

Positives

• The resource provides three ways for students to explore data (chart, map, table).
• Students can choose to view datasets for various geographic locations and time periods.
• Related research and data sources are linked in the Sources sections.

Additional Prerequisites

• Learners should be familiar with the concept of  CO₂ emissions.
• Teachers may want to explain flaring to students.

Differentiation

• Geography classes could use the play feature on the map to see how per capita emissions from flaring have changed over the years. Students could discuss why emissions have remained high, remained low, or changed in various countries.
• Science and engineering classes could research flaring as well as alternatives to flaring.

This resource examines per capita CO₂ emissions from flaring, CO₂ emissions were normalized with a conversion factor of 3.664. The method used is appropriate. Students can explore this resource to gain knowledge on flaring in selected countries. The resource is recommended for teaching.
