Abstract
Saudi Arabia ranks sixteenth among nations based on 2002 fossil-fuel carbon-dioxide emissions per capita. Even though Saudi Arabia is the world's largest exporter of oil, not suprisingly consumption of petroleum products represents the bulk of the country's fossil-fuel emissions is from electricity generation. Use of natural gas increasingly has become important since the mid-1980s and in 2008 accounts for 31.3 percent of total fossil-fuel carbon-dioxide emissions.
