Abstract

The greenhouse effect, which causes a rise in global temperatures and a variety of climatic disturbances, is mostly caused by greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide (CO?), methane (CH?), and nitrous oxide (N?O). In this study, we examine the relationship between GHG emissions and global warming in 2023 in great detail. This research uses data from emission databases, reputable studies, and scientific journals to quantify emissions of important greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O). The study offers a comprehensive analysis of emissions by gas type and industry by applying conventional emission factors to activity data.
