Wetlands and methane: a growing feedback in the global carbon cycle
Methane, a potent greenhouse gas, contributes significantly to global warming, accounting for about 30% of human-caused warming. Its atmospheric concentration reached a record high in 2023, primarily ...

About 8% of #fossilfuels used worldwide are for non-energy (non-combustion) purposes to produce plastics, synthetic fibers, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, household, cleaners, electronics, and medical supplies. visualizingenergy.org/non-energy-u...
Non-energy uses of fossil fuels
Fossil fuels serve non-energy purposes, comprising about eight percent of global consumption. Their use has doubled since 1990, driven by demand for products like plastics and chemicals. Non-energy us...
