Industry / Manufacturing
Industry / manufacturing accounts for approximately 13 % of the world ’ s GHGs . There are several opportunities to reduce greenhouse gases from industrial / manufacturing processes :
• Reduce energy consumption by improving equipment / process energy efficiency ,
• Capture and use or sequester combusted ( emitted ) GHGs ( primarily CO 2 ),
• Switch to lower carbon fuel sources ( natural gas , blue / green hydrogen , renewable electricity ).
See Chart 2 for more details . Fugitive Emissions
Fugitives account for about 6 % of the world ’ s GHGs , consisting primarily as methane ( CH 4 ).
By environmental standards , fugitive emissions are “ those emissions that could not reasonably pass through a stack , chimney , vent , or other functionally equivalent opening .” Fugitive emissions are generally accidental releases of gases , typically from pressurized equipment , due to leaks and other unintended or intermittent gas releases .

Fugitive emissions can be complex and difficult to manage , as gas and vapor leaks are invisible and can easily go undetected .
