Vector Value Calculations:

Ukraine's total emissions of carbon in metric tones from energy combustion in1990 = 182.272 MtC [Ref 1]. Ukraine's population in 1990 = 51.9 m. Ukraine's 1990 emissions per capita = 3,512 kgC/cap [Ref 2];

Ukraine's total emissions of carbon in metric tones from energy combustion in1999 = 76.61 MtC [Ref. 3]. Ukraine's population in 1999 = 49.7 m. Ukraine's 1999 emissions per capita = 1,541 kgC/cap

Vector Value:

1999 vector value = (1,541 kgC/cap - 339 kgC/cap)/791 kgC/cap = 1.520

1990 vector value = (3,512 kgC/cap - 339 kgC/cap)/791 kgC/cap = 4.011

It should be mentioned that this trend is very delusive. The Ukrainian government tries hard to subsidise energy consumption in the most carbon intensive sectors of national economy. The emerging market in Ukraine eliminated some of the wasteful demand typical of centrally planned economies (such as over consumption of fuels and power, raw materials and transportation.) An appropriate fall in output attributable to the elimination of the worst loss-making activities may even be desirable for the environment as a whole. Unfortunately, those activities in many cases are precisely the ones that, through the over use of energy and natural resources and through pollution in production and consumption, allow earn foreign exchange, fig.1.1. That is why national government continues to subsidise carbon intensive exports through tax exemptions, low emissions charges and various indirect subsidies.
