Carbon Emissions & Climate

95 Contents

This section explains transport and energy emissions in measurable terms: lifecycle and well-to-wheel analysis, CO2 per kilometre by vehicle type and by country, manufacturing and battery-production footprints, and the difference between carbon-neutral, net-zero and carbon-negative. It draws on IPCC, IEA and government inventory data, and focuses on the decisions – vehicle choice, grid mix, freight mode – that actually move the numbers. Start with global carbon emissions trends, emissions by industry and aviation emissions statistics.
