Changelog:

2021 total anthropogenic CO₂ emission (including the cement carbonation sink) of 10.9 ± 0.8 GtC/year (40.0 ± 2.9 GtCO₂)
for 2021, fossil emissions increased by 5.1 % relative to 2020 to 10.1 ± 0.5 GtC/year (9.9 ± 0.5 GtC/year when the cement carbonation sink is included)
2021 global atmospheric CO₂ concentration: 414.71 ± 0.1 ppm
remaining carbon budget for a 50 % likelihood to limit global warming to 1.5, 1.7, and 2°C has reduced to 105 GtC (380 GtCO₂), 200 GtC (730 GtCO₂), and 335 GtC (1230 GtCO₂)

Fossil fuel and cement production emissions by fuel type

All values in million tonnes of carbon per year (MtC/yr), except the per capita emissions which are in tonnes of carbon per person per year (tC/person/yr). For values in million tonnes of CO₂ per year, multiply the values below by 3.664
1MtC = 1 million tonne of carbon = 3.664 million tonnes of CO₂

Methods: Full details of the method are described in Friedlingstein et al (2022b) and Andrew and Peters (2021). Full country and fuel data can be found at https://zenodo.org/record/7215364#.Y1JIIHbRZmM
The uncertainty for the global estimates is about ±5 % for a ± 1 sigma confidence level.
