d. electricity and heat production
Answers
The correct answer will be, “Globally transportation in the economic sectors emits the largest percentage of greenhouse gas emissions”
It is responsible for the omission of approximately 28.5 per cent of the greenhouse.
The prime reason for this is burning up of the fossil fuel for ships, trucks, cars, etc. and then there is petrol that takes 90 per cent of total fuel.
Greenhouse gas: A gas that causes the greenhouse effect by absorbing and emitting energy with the thermal infrared range is called a Greenhouse gas.
The main greenhouse gases are,
- Water vapor
- Carbon dioxide
- Methane
- Ozone
According to a study, the amount of green house gas emitted in the electricity and heat production is 25%.
This is the highest among all the other sectors.
Reason: Burning fossil fuels for energy production is the biggest source of carbon dioxide emissions.
Hence, the answer is (d) electricity and heat production.
