On the other hand, it is the industrialised countries that are mainly responsible for the greenhouse-gas emissions of earlier years.
We recommend that all sectors of the economy report similar high-resolution CO2 emissions because of their great usefulness both for carbon cycle science and for greenhouse gases emissions mitigation and regulation.
The results also suggested that the carbon emissions of sectors related to economic activity were significantly determined by some structural roles in the global embodied carbon emission transfer networks.
This method allows us to analyze the correlation of energy consumption and CO2 emissions with economic activities of various sectors, and reveal which sectors deserve more attention as Chinese Government shapes appropriate policies for energy conservation and carbon emissions reduction.
Indeed, our efficiency and regression results show that there exists a sector heterogeneity and that the room for increasing economic growth/reducing greenhouse gas emissions is clearly different for each sector in every country.
Our results show that there are significant differences in the effects of different sectors on the composition of greenhouse emissions.
Our study contributes new information on greenhouse gas emissions to a vast number of trade liberalisation studies that focus on economic impacts.
We find no evidence that developing countries specialize in emissions-intensive sectors; instead, our evidence suggests that emissions intensities differ systematically across countries because of differences in production techniques.
The results show that a broad integration of sectors is beneficial in terms of reduction of greenhouse gases.

Which companies have the highest carbon emissions?5 answersThe largest 6,529 international corporations are accountable for almost 30% of global CO2e emissions.
Which industrial sectors contribute the most to carbon dioxide emissions?5 answersThe industrial sectors that contribute the most to carbon dioxide emissions are coal-fired power plants (CFPPs), iron and steel smelting (ISS), cement production (CMP), steel, cement, non-ferrous metals, oil and gas, chemicals, and general manufacturing industries. CFPPs are identified as the leading contributors to carbon emissions, followed by ISS and CMP. These energy-intensive industries, such as steel, cement, oil and gas, chemicals, and non-ferrous metals, were responsible for about 36% of China's total carbon emissions in 2017. Labor and capital resources play a significant role in driving direct and net CO2 emissions in industrial production processes. Energy supply and industrial systems make up 66% of total global fossil fuel CO2 emissions, with the utility sector of "Electricity, gas, and water" having the highest amount of labor and capital-induced emissions. The concrete industry, particularly the production of Portland cement and transportation of materials, is also a major contributor to carbon dioxide emissions.
