Emissions from Transport


 
From Greenhouse Gas Inventory: December 2022 pages 14/15
2.3 Energy – Transport
The transport sector includes emissions from the direct combustion of fuels in transportation by road, rail, domestic aviation and domestic shipping. The main fuels used for transport are automotive gasoline (petrol), diesel oil, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and aviation turbine fuel (jet fuel).In the year to December 2022, transport accounted for 20.2% of Australia’s national inventory(Figure 3).
Emissions from transport over the year to December 2022 increased 4.9% in actual terms, compared
with the previous year (Figure 10). This was driven by a 56.1% increase in domestic jet fuel consumption, a 1.6% increase in diesel consumption, and a 3.0% increase in petrol consumption
