Cement production is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions due to the release of carbon dioxide during the calcination process.

Carbon dioxide is the primary greenhouse gas emitted during the production of steel due to the use of fossil fuels in the manufacturing process.

Industry is responsible for the largest share of global greenhouse gas emissions, primarily due to the use of fossil fuels for energy and the production of goods.

Anthropogenic emissions refer to the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere as a result of human activities, such as industrial processes, transportation, and agriculture.

Refrigeration and air conditioning systems often use HFCs as refrigerants, which can contribute to greenhouse gas emissions when released into the atmosphere.

Perfluorocarbons (PFCs) are the primary greenhouse gases emitted during the production of aluminum, particularly during the electrolytic process.

Electricity and heat production is responsible for the second-largest share of global greenhouse gas emissions, primarily due to the use of fossil fuels for power generation.

The greenhouse effect refers to the process by which greenhouse gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to an increase in global temperatures.

Chemical production, particularly the manufacturing of nitric acid and fertilizers, is a major source of nitrous oxide emissions.

Global warming refers to the long-term increase in the Earth's average temperature due to the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Electrical equipment manufacturing, particularly the production of high-voltage switchgear and circuit breakers, is a major source of sulfur hexafluoride emissions.

Carbon footprint refers to the amount of greenhouse gases produced to directly and indirectly support human activities, usually expressed in equivalent tons of carbon dioxide (CO2e).

Diesel engine operation, particularly in vehicles and machinery, is a major source of black carbon emissions, which contribute to climate change and air pollution.

Greenhouse gas mitigation refers to the process of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from human activities, including industrial processes, to mitigate climate change.

Refrigeration and air conditioning systems often used CFCs as refrigerants in the past, contributing to ozone depletion and greenhouse gas emissions.
