However, one of its most pressing current challenges is reducing the carbon emissions from transportation, a sector that is one of the highest contributors to greenhouse gases. In the US alone, the transportation sector contributed 29% of greenhouse gas emissions in 2019. Photo by Aleksejs Bergmanis.
