In 2022, the transportation sector was responsible for 28 percent of global warming pollution in the country. It is one of the so-called criteria air pollutants , along with NOx, SOx, carbon monoxide (CO), and lead 5. See the pie charts below.

Carbon Management Funding For example, in 2021 the Department of Energy’s budget for carbon management was between $300 and $500 million annually. With passage of the Bipartisan Infrastructure law that year, about $12 billion more was allocated over the five years between 2022 and 2026—roughly an eightfold annual increase.
