The pie charts illustrate the data about the amount of greenhouse gas emitted in the world across six distinct economic sectors and five gas types in the year 2014.
overall, it is evident that electricity and heat generation produced almost half of the total greenhouse gas emissions in economic sectors worldwide. On the other hand, approximately two-thirds of these emissions came from carbon dioxide among the given gas types.
In more detail, the amount of greenhouse gas produced worldwide in the electricity and heat generation sector was one-quarter of total gas emissions in the economic sector. Followed by agriculture, forestry, and other land sectors accounted for 24% of total emissions, while the buildings sector, along with other energy sectors, together generated just over 15% of the total emissions. Moreover, roughly one-fifth of the total emissions were produced from the industry sector, which was slightly higher than 14% in the transportation sector.
Meanwhile, carbon dioxide gas was responsible for roughly two-thirds of total gas emissions among other gas types. Methane was compared to significantly lower at 15% of total emissions, while carbon dioxide from forestry and other land use activities contributed 11%. Besides, nitrous oxide accounted for 15% of total emissions, surpassing the just 6% shared by the F-gases.
