Based on the search results, the main sources of CO2 emissions are:
1. Burning fossil fuels for energy production and use, which accounts for about 90% of global CO2 emissions[5]. This includes:
- Electricity and heat production (largest source globally)[2]
- Transportation (cars, trucks, planes, ships)[1][2]
- Industry and manufacturing[1][2]
- Residential and commercial buildings[1]
2. Land use changes, primarily deforestation in tropical regions[4]
3. Industrial processes like cement production[4][5]
4. Agriculture, though this is a larger source of other greenhouse gases like methane and nitrous oxide rather than CO2 directly[1][2]
Breaking down the fossil fuel sources further:
- Coal: 40% of global fossil fuel CO2 emissions
- Oil: 32%
- Natural gas: 21%
- Cement production: 5%
- Flaring and other smaller sources: 2%[5]
Geographically, the largest emitters are:
- China: 31% of global fossil fuel emissions
- United States: 14%
- European Union: 7%
- India: 7%[5]
It's important to note that while the transportation sector (including cars) is a significant source, it is not the largest overall. Electricity and heat production from fossil fuels typically contribute more to global CO2 emissions[2]. However, the exact breakdown can vary by country and region.
