Where do most of the greenhouse gases come from?

[Edit]

  • Petrol and diesel motor vehicles produce CO2, N2O and hydrocarbons.
  • Power stations and other industries that burn fossil fuels release CO2 and N2O. For example, Huntly Power Station produced about 3.26 million tonnes of carbon dioxide in 2001.
  • Domestic heating appliances that burn fossil fuels, two- and four-stroke lawnmowers, backyard incinerators and barbecues all produce CO2.
  • Livestock, landfills and waste water treatment facilities produce methane.
  • Agricultural land use and some industrial processes increase nitrous oxides levels.
