According to the statistical release, the increase in transport emissions follows a period of reduced transport during the Covid-19 pandemic. Domestic transport is the largest emitting sector in the UK, responsible for 28% of all greenhouse gas emissions. According to the release, road vehicles ...
IBM’s total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions totaled 364,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO₂e) in 2023, a 15 percent reduction compared to the previous year.
This sector consists of emissions from waste disposed of to landfill sites, waste incineration, and wastewater treatment. It’s estimated to have been responsible for around 4% of GHG emissions in the UK in 2019, with methane being by far the most prominent gas (90% of emissions). The vast...
Some recent studies have highlighted the importance of greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions from energy use in the water sector. They show that water-related energy use in the US accounts for nearly 5% of total GHG emissions, and the proportion is even higher in the UK, although there it is ...
Hackathon (October 23-24, 2021) aims to create solutions to the problem of embedded greenhouse gas emissions created by the transportation sector, which accounts for the largest share of GHG emissions in the USA. We built a command line tool for calculating carbon emissions for domestic carg… ...

By Kate Abnett BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Union should commit to slash its net greenhouse gas emissions by as much as 95% by 2040, official advisers said on Thursday, as Brussels prepares a new goal to curb Europe's contribution to climate change. The European Commission is d...
The results suggest that for effective reduction of GHG emissions from livestock production, fluxes occurring outside the agricultural sector need to be taken into account. Reduction targets should address both the production side as defined by IPCC sectors and the consumption side. An LCA assessment...
Bucking the downward trend, emissions from the aviation sector grew last year by 9.5 percent, continuing their post-COVID trend. But emissions fromelectricity productionand heating fell by 24 percent compared to 2022, driven by the growth of renewables, in particular wind and solar, and the "tr...
