Executive Summary This working paper analyses the BP Statistical Review of World Energy with respect to CO2 emissions from fossil fuel consumption. The focus is put on the classification of Annex B ("industrialized countries") and non-Annex B countries ("developing countries") as defined in the Kyoto Protocol. The method applied here is to convert the fossil fuel consumption with specific emission factors for coal, oil and gas into CO2 emissions. The resulting figures were then analysed in various ways. Though this method might be criticized as being too simple, the trends and relative changes are reproduced with sufficient accuracy. Main trends of 2002 emissions compared to 2001 are:
