AB: Previous studies of carbon dioxide emissions from petroleum products in European countries have shown changes with time that can be correlated with demand on annual and monthly time scales. This study will build on these previous studies by including additional European countries. This study will also aim to identify the factors that determine the pattern of monthly consumption in countries that span 35 degrees in latitude and various socioeconomic foundations (e.g., mean monthly temperature and hence heating/cooling needs, lifestyle choices, national policy decisions, etc.). This work should increase our understanding of the magnitude and pattern of sub-annual variations in emissions of greenhouse gases from petroleum consumption in Europe.
