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...
The European Commission called on the European Union on Tuesday to achieve a 90 percent reduction in its greenhouse gas emissions by 2040 compared with the 1990 levels despite multiple challenges, including the latest farmers' protests i...
One reason emissions didn't drop even more this spring, as some environmental advocates had hoped, is that transportation accounts for a relatively small fraction of the greenhouse gases produced by people. The sector creates about14%of emissions globally, according to the United Nations.Other areas...
Before diving into the data, it may be useful to understand what Scope 1 emissions entail. Scope 1 emissions are direct greenhouse gas emissions from sources that are owned or controlled by a company, such as their facilities and vehicles. Source: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Scope 1 ...
In this paper we examine the interaction between technology policy and its impact on the full basket of worldwide greenhouse emissions over the 21st century. The heart of the analysis is the Argonne National Laboratory's AMIGA Modeling System, a technology rich, general equilibrium model that (...
In 2021, China's national carbon market officially launched online trading, covering 4.5 billion tons of greenhouse gas emissions annually, making it the world's largest carbon market. It has encouraged companies to reduce their carbon emissions by putting a price on carbon, and drive the developm...
It also emits less carbon dioxide than traditional fuel oil, though the shipping industry is looking at other solutions and alternative fuels such as hydrogen to meet International Maritime Organization's (IMO) target to halve the sector’s greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 from 2008 levels. ...
Economists regard control of greenhouse gas emissions as a natural application for tradable allowances. While the most important existing cap-and-trade scheme – the Sulfur Allowance Scheme in the United States – is largely based on the notion that location does matter, greenhouse gases are uniform...
