Other sectors included were pig iron production at 12% of total emissions; cement, road freight transport, and private power generation each covering 7%.
The team hopes that by identifying emission hot spots in the supply chain that go into building a house, policy makers can implement strategies to reduce its climate impact. Their analysis was published in theAs humanity maneuvers itself through the climate crisis, researchers and industry professionals alike have been working to identify sectors with high COemissions so they can implement policies that potentially reduce greenhouse gas production.
"If you combine the emissions generated by construction activity and the supply chain manufacturing of its essential products it can account for approximately 23% of all global emissions," explains doctoral candidate Seiya Imada and first author of the study."94% of that comes from the supply chain alone. Therefore, emission reduction efforts targeting the supply chain is the best way to mitigate any emissions from the construction sector.
