Transportation's share of national energy-related carbon dioxide emissions varies greatly worldwide. The United States' transportation sector - the biggest contributor to global transportation emissions - accounted for roughly 34 percent of the country's total energy-related CO₂ emissions in 2021. By comparison, transportation accounted for just nine and 12 percent of energy-related CO₂ emissions in China and India, respectively. Among G20 countries, transportation's share of energy-related CO₂ emissions was highest in Brazil, at 43 percent.
