Within Gelderland’s non-energy greenhouse gas balance, the mobility and transport sector accounts for 1%. That makes it the smallest of the four sectors in the Climate Action Recap. The main source is road traffic, and specifically exhaust gases, which consist largely of nitrogen released by incomplete combustion in car engines.
The low share does not mean the sector is climate neutral: the vast majority of mobility emissions is energy-related and therefore falls outside this non-energy Pareto analysis. Alongside road traffic, the analysis names the air conditioning units of trucks as the second non-energy source. Precisely because the share is small and predominantly energy-related, the climate gain here shifts towards fuel and vehicle policy rather than separate reduction or sequestration solutions.
