When countries report their emissions, they're divided into sectors. Here are some key terms:

  • Fugitive emissions are released during gas, oil and coal production.
  • Industrial processes mean chemical, metal and mineral production, as well as fridges and air-conditioners.
  • Stationary energy means burning fuel for energy (e.g. gas, coal) in settings other than transport, such as power plants or buildings.
