World Data Lab – emissions in China are expected to rise, surpassing 2.6 GTCO₂e in the year 2050 under a “business-as-usual” scenario .
In 2021, greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector in the United States and China amounted to approximately 1.8 and 1.1 billion tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (GTCO₂e), respectively. Whereas transport-related emissions in the U.S. are expected to drop in the coming decades – according to Greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector in the United States and China under a “business-as-usual” scenario from 2020 to 2021, with projections until 2050 (in million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent)
