Notes: Emissions values are presented in million metric tons carbon dioxide equivalent (MMT CO2 eq.) using Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) global warming potential (GWP) values established by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
This graph displays the breakdown of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by economic sector. GHG emissions from the transportation sector increased 22.9% from 1990 to 2020, before dipping in 2020 likely because of COVID-19 restrictions. This overall growth contrasts with the electricity sector, which was the highest-emitting sector until transportation surpassed it in 2017. Transportation emissions have also increased from 23.7% of total emissions in 1990 to 28.6% in 2019, the largest percentage increase of any sector. Since emissions peaked in 2007, the electricity generation portion decreased 33%, the transportation portion decreased 5%, and the industry portion decreased 2%.
