CO2 Emissions by Mode of Transportation (Gigatonnes)

Supply chains are getting more complex and logistics networks are linking more economic centres across the globe.

With freight transport relying heavily on fossil fuels due to long distances which need to span across countries and continents, it is no surprise that freight transport is one of the largest contributors of emissions.

Transport related CO2 emissions account for 16% of total global emissions each year, out of which trade related freight transport accounts for 40-45% (roughly 7-8% of global emissions).
