World GHG Emissions Flow Chart

Analysis by Ecofys. All the data are for 2010. The global estimate of 48 629 MtCO2 equivalent results from adding up all calculated data on sector level.

All percentages relate to the total emission worldwide. The data for Land Use Change are subject to significant uncertainties. This chart is inspired by a previous chart of WRI, 2005

* Greenhouse gases can arise from two sources

Fossil fuel related emissions

Burning fossil fuels (coal, natural gas and oil) in industry, residential sector, commercial & public sector, transport and energy supply.

Direct emissions (examples)

Sector: Land Use ChangeCutting down trees for logging or agriculture releases CO2 stored in the biomass.


Sector: AgriculturalCows and other livestock emit tons of methane (CH4) by passing gas each day.
