World GHG Emissions Flow Chart

A data visualization of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for the year 2000, detailing the percentage contributions of various sectors and specific activities based on a total global estimate of 41,755 MtCO2 equivalent.

• In 2000, the largest contributing sector to global greenhouse gas emissions was Electricity & Heat at 24.6%, followed by Land Use Change at 18.2%, and both Agriculture and Transportation at 13.5% each.
• The composition of global greenhouse gas emissions by gas type is dominated by Carbon Dioxide (CO2) at 77%, followed by Methane (CH4) at 14%, Nitrous Oxide (N2O) at 8%, and HFCs, PFCs, SF6 at 1%.
• The total global estimate of greenhouse gas emissions for the year 2000 was 41,755 MtCO2 equivalent, with calculations based on 100-year global warming potentials from the IPCC (1996).
