A Global Breakdown of Greenhouse Gas Emissions by Sector In a few decades, greenhouse gases (GHGs)—chiefly in the form of CO₂ emissions—have risen at unprecedented rates as a result of global growth and resource consumption. To uncover the major sectors where these emissions originate, this...
measured by the amount (in kg) of CO2-equivalent greenhouse gases produced per kg of output. If production of a good in an area with higher emission intensities is replaced by production from an area with lower-emission intensities, global emissions...
The findings confirm that, for deep emission reductions in the residential-building sector, low-carbon electricity by itself will not be sufficient46, but additional demand-side efficiency and sufficiency measures are required47. The same holds for the vehicle fleet, where electrification and a transf...
Since the industrial revolution began, the atmospheric abundance of key greenhouse gases have increased substantially.
Emission of GHGs has a huge significance on global climate change regardless of where has it been emitted. Therefore, having knowledge on from where did GHGs come from, and what are the main sources is very important in order to share the responsibility to cope with climate change. Therefore,...
Energy Solutions is McKinsey’s global market intelligence and analytics group, focused on the energy sector. The group enables organizations to make well-informed strategic, tactical, and operational decisions by using an integrated suite of market models, proprietary industry data, and a global netwo...
Greenhouse gas emissions could increase from 55 gigatons of CO2 equivalents (GtCO2e) in 2019 to over 80 GtCO2e in 2050 - an almost 50 percent increase. Causes of CO2-emissions CO2-emissions are mostly a result of burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas. In 2018, emission of CO2...
to 2.4ºC by 2100. However, given the uncertainties around the relationship between emission concentrations and global-warming impact, our scenarios show that global warming could even exceed 2.1ºC to 2.9ºC by 2100 with a one-in-six probability.3Therefore, even though projected ...
Climate TRACE data measures greenhouse gas emissions down to the facility level and for each sector of the economy including energy use, manufacturing, travel, shipping, agriculture, oil and gas, and other sources. Now anyone, everyone, can see exactly how much of which emissions are coming ...
Mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions often reduces co-emitted air pollutants, with advantages for human health. Avoided mortality from air pollution, a co-benefit of CO2 abatement, is estimated under global climate change mitigation scenarios to be in
