Abstract

Energy production and consumption activities account for 76% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, according to the Historical GHG Emissions database by Climate Watch. Power and heat plants cause 42% of energy-related GHG emissions, while other sectors, like transport, other energy use in buildings, and industry, cause 22%, 8%, and 24% of energy-related GHG emissions, respectively.
