Fig. 2: Global energy consumption and CO2 emissions from irrigation.

From: Global energy use and carbon emissions from irrigated agriculture

Fig. 2

Country-level energy consumption and CO2 emissions are based on pixel sum statistics. a Energy consumption (PJ per year) under 2000–2010 and sustainable irrigation expansion in 3 oC warmer climate. b CO2 emissions (Mt CO2 per year) from energy consumption under 2000–2010 and sustainable irrigation expansion of 3 oC warmer climate. We selected the top 20 countries with the highest energy consumption and CO2 emissions. The upper right subgraphs represent a summary of energy consumption and CO2 emissions by regions as well as globally. Geospatial distribution maps are provided in Supplementary Figs. 4 and 6.
