    For example, a cheeseburger, a popular beef food, is estimated to emit about 4.79 pounds (2.17 kg) [134] or 1.9 kg of carbon dioxide per serving, [135] which is about 10 times the weight of the cheeseburger that emitted the carbon dioxide, which is the equivalent of driving about 5 miles (8 km) in a car.

  3. Carbon footprint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_footprint

    The carbon footprint explained Comparison of the carbon footprint of protein-rich foods [1]. A formal definition of carbon footprint is as follows: "A measure of the total amount of carbon dioxide (CO 2) and methane (CH 4) emissions of a defined population, system or activity, considering all relevant sources, sinks and storage within the spatial and temporal boundary of the population, system ...

    This List of carbon capture and storage projects provides documentation of global, industrial-scale projects for carbon capture and storage. According to the Global CCS Institute, in 2020 some 40 million tons CO 2 per year capacity of CCS was in operation with 50 million tons per year in development. [ 1 ]

  5. Greenhouse gas emissions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_gas_emissions

    A carbon footprint (or greenhouse gas footprint) is a calculated value or index that makes it possible to compare the total amount of greenhouse gases that an activity, product, company or country adds to the atmosphere. Carbon footprints are usually reported in tonnes of emissions (CO 2-equivalent) per unit of comparison.

    Pumpkins, which are largely made up of water, can also be fed to some animals, or donated after use. The U.S. sells around a couple of billion pumpkins annually, largely harvested in California ...

  7. List of locations and entities by greenhouse gas emissions

    Emissions attributed to specific power stations around the world, color-coded by type of fuel used at the station. Lower half focuses on Europe and Asia [1]. This article is a list of locations and entities by greenhouse gas emissions, i.e. the greenhouse gas emissions from companies, activities, and countries on Earth which cause climate change.

  8. Climate change mitigation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change_mitigation

    Overall, food accounts for the largest share of consumption-based greenhouse gas emissions. It is responsible for nearly 20% of the global carbon footprint. Almost 15% of all anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions have been attributed to the livestock sector. [105] A shift towards plant-based diets would help to mitigate climate change. [112]

  9. Net-zero emissions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net-zero_emissions

    To reach net zero targets requires actions to reduce emissions. One example would be by shifting from fossil fuel energy to sustainable energy sources. Organizations often offset their residual emissions by buying carbon credits. People often use the terms net-zero emissions, carbon neutrality, and climate neutrality with the same meaning.
