Sectors are divided into subsectors according to the source of the emissions

*Hover over each flashcard for more information 

Stationary energy

Stationary energy emissions primarily come from the combustion of fuel. The sector also includes fugitive emissions released in the process of generating, delivering and consuming energy (such as electricity or heat).
Subsectors: Residential buildings; Commercial and institutional buildings and facilities; Manufacturing industries and construction; Energy industries; Agriculture, forestry, and fishing activities; Non-specified sources; Fugitive emissions from mining, processing, storage, and transportation of coal; Fugitive emissions from oil and natural gas systems

Transport

Transport vehicles, including mobile equipment and machinery, produce GHG emissions directly from combusting fuel, or indirectly by consuming electricity from the grid.
Subsectors: On-road transport; Rail transport occurring within the city’s boundaries (if applicable); Waterborne navigation occurring within the city’s boundaries (if applicable); Aviation occurring within the city’s boundaries (if applicable); Off-road transport (though this is often grouped together with on-road transport)

Waste

Waste, although a sector which doesn’t consume energy, is responsible for emissions through the decomposition of waste (aerobic or anaerobic), or burning of waste.
Subsectors: Solid waste disposal (e.g. dumps and landfills); Biological treatment of waste (e.g. composting); Incineration and open burning of waste; Wastewater treatment and discharge

Industrial processes and product use

This sector covers GHG emissions that result from non-energy-related industrial activities and product uses. Examples include cement, lime, steel and glass production processes, from which carbon dioxide is directly produced.
Subsectors: Industrial processes; Product use

Agriculture, forestry and other land use (AFOLU)

The AFOLU sector produces GHG emissions, but also results in GHG removals or sequestration. These happen through a variety of pathways, including land-use changes that alter the composition of vegetation and soil, management of forests and other land, methane produced via the digestive processes of livestock, and nutrient management for agricultural purposes.
Subsectors: Livestock; Land; Aggregate sources and non-CO2 emission sources on land
