Many economies in developed countries have an effective impact on co2 emission. Almost
all co2 emissions (about 96.5%) come from fossil fuel use. the most common
types of fossil fules are coal, petroleum, natural gas, methane and propane.
When these fuels are burned, they react with oxygen and produce carbon dioxide and the carbon stored in them is emitted almost entirely as co2.
The most important
source of co2 emissions worldwide is caused by the transportation sector, which carries people and goods by cars, ships
and others. The impact that transporting people and
goods has on greenhouse gas emissions and climate change is so large that it is beyond emission
from all industrial manufacturing. On other main large impact on co2 emission are industries. Many
manufacturing facilities directly use fossil fules
to create heat and steam needed during various stage productions. Also their
energy intensive activities use more electricity than any other sector.
