In 2018, the transportation sector’s consumption accounted for 78% of US CO 2 emissions from petroleum and more than one-third of all US energy-related CO 2 emissions. In the transportation sector, consumption and emissions trends in the past have been driven by changes in travel demand, fuel prices, and fuel economy regulations.
