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...
Greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) Thedirect greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from facilities we operate (Scope 1) were 50 million tonnes on a CO2-equivalent basis in 2023, down from 51 million tonnes of CO2equivalent in 2022. The indirect GHG emissions from the energy we purchased (electricity, ...
Food systems contribute one-third of global anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, roughly 16.5 GtCO2e year−1from a total 54 GtCO2e year−11,2, with both pre- and post-production phases representing a high and increasing share of total emissions3. The Food and Agriculture Organizati...
However, their carbon-sink capacity could be offset somewhat if exported plant material - which accounts for similar to 90% of total leaf production - undergoes microbial breakdown and is emitted into the atmosphere as a greenhouse gas. Here we measured emissions (CO2 and CH4) from the ...
However, a United Nations analysispublished on Feb. 26found that pledges made by countries around the world to curb greenhouse gas emissions were "very far" from the profound measures required to avoid the most devastating impacts of climate breakdown. ...

What is the source of greenhouse gas emissions? Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions trap heat and warm our planet, with human activity being the primary cause of rising GHGs since pre-industrial times. Almost three quarters of the world’s current GHG emissions stem from energy use in industry, bu...
Only energy- and industry-related CO2emissions were considered, excluding other non-CO2greenhouse gases. Therefore, the estimate of the consumption-based carbon footprint and the overshoot of climate change is optimistic, and the actual situation may be worse. Previous literature has indicated that th...
For reference: Basic rationale on the calculation of total greenhouse gas emissions At DENSO, all greenhouse gases defined in the Kyoto Protocol are cumulatively calculated, specifically, CO2 (an energy-related greenhouse gas) and five gases (non-energy-related greenhouse gases), including PFC, HFC...
Greenhouse gas emissions from the transport sector alone have more than doubled since 1970, with around 80% of this increase coming from road vehicles. Higher-income families also spend more on food, contributing to CO₂ emissions. The production, transportation, and handling of food generates ...
