The published data covers close to 80% of the global total energy supply and CO2 emissions from fuel combustion.
On the demand side, industry was the largest emitting sector, accounting for over 40% of the CO2 emissions in 2019. However, sectoral shares varied significantly among the major emitters: in China and India, industry was responsible for the largest share; while buildings were the major emitting sector in the United States, Japan and Germany.
