Detailed explanation-2: -Coal is responsible for more emissions than any other fossil fuel, representing approximately 40% of global fossil CO2 emissions in 2022. Oil is the second largest contributor at 32% of fossil CO2, while gas and cement production round out the pack at 21% and 4%, respectively.

Detailed explanation-3: -IEA – International Energy Agency.

Detailed explanation-4: -Global greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) for 2022 will be 58 gigatons (GT), the largest annual level ever recorded. If current economic growth, demography, and emissions intensity trends continue, the level of emissions will continue to rise, reaching 62 GT by 2030.

Detailed explanation-5: -The peak in fossil-fuels demand continues to move forward; oil is projected to peak in the next 5 years while gas remains the most resilient fossil fuel. Even if all countries deliver on their current net-zero commitments, global emissions remain far away from a 1.5ºC pathway.
