Greenhouse gases

Transport constitutes 18 per cent of the global greenhouse gas emissions and 7 per cent of the resource consumption.

The EU focuses especially on construction, food production and transport. These areas have not generated noticeable results. This means that there will be extra pressure on these areas through to 2020. Construction, food production and transport are responsible for 2/3 of the global climate impact.

In 2005, the EU measured greenhouse gas emissions in a number of areas:

  • Transport 19,1 per cent
  • Industry 21,2 per cent
  • Households 15,1 per cent
  • Agriculture 9,2  per cent
  • Waste 2,9 per cent
  • Solvents 0,2 per cent
  • Energy industry 32,3 per cent
