+The transportation sector is highly dependent on oil. It accounts for 15% of greenhouse gas emissions.
+</center>
 == Explanations ==
-% is not much, but it varies a lot depending on the country and lifestyle. In Western countries, the share of transportation, especially air travel, can account for a very large part of everyone's carbon footprint. In fact, if you take one or a few long haul flights a year, that's the bulk of your carbon footprint.

 === French energy mix ===
-In France, transport is the leading GHG emitting sector with 28% of emissions <ref>[https://jancovici.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Jancovici_Mines_ParisTech_cours_3.pdf#section.0.41 Cours Jancovici Mines ParisTech, cours 3, section 41]</ref>.

-The individual car represents 67% of the carbon footprint of transport, that's huge ! <ref>[http://ravijen.fr/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/empreinte_FR_2016_graphe.jpg, Ravijen]</ref>

-France energy mix is 70% dominated by nuclear power, which is a low carbon energy (hydraulic 11%, focile 8%, ...) <ref>[https://opendata.reseaux-energies.fr/explore/dataset/prod-national-annuel-filiere/table/?sort=annee&dataChart=eyJxdWVyaWVzIjpbeyJjaGFydHMiOlt7InR5cGUiOiJsaW5lIiwiZnVuYyI6IlNVTSIsInlBeGlzIjoicHJvZHVjdGlvbl90b3RhbGUiLCJjb2xvciI6IiMwMDUxOEIiLCJzY2llbnRpZmljRGlzcGxheSI6dHJ1ZX1dLCJ4QXhpcyI6ImFubmVlIiwibWF4cG9pbnRzIjoiIiwidGltZXNjYWxlIjoieWVhciIsInNvcnQiOiIiLCJzZXJpZXNCcmVha2Rvd24iOiIiLCJzZXJpZXNCcmVha2Rvd25UaW1lc2NhbGUiOiIiLCJjb25maWciOnsiZGF0YXNldCI6InByb2QtbmF0aW9uYWwtYW5udWVsLWZpbGllcmUiLCJvcHRpb25zIjp7InNvcnQiOiJhbm5lZSJ9fX1dLCJ0aW1lc2NhbGUiOiJ5ZWFyIiwic2luZ2xlQXhpcyI6dHJ1ZSwiZGlzcGxheUxlZ2VuZCI6dHJ1ZSwiYWxpZ25Nb250aCI6dHJ1ZX0%3D, opendata.reseaux-energies.fr] </ref> (l'électricité ne représente que 24% de l'énergie consommée en france <ref>[https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89lectricit%C3%A9_en_France, page wikipedia sur l'électricité en France]</ref>). Donc une voiture électrique en France sera moins émettrice de CO2 qu'une voiture à énergie fossile, mais dans le calcul des émissions au kilomètre, il faut inclure les émissions liés à la fabrication de la voiture. Donc, c'est mieux mais cela n'est pas zéro émission comme le laisse entendre certaines publicités.

Therefore, an electric car in France will emit less CO<sub>2</sub> than a fossil fuel car, but in the calculation of emissions per kilometre, the emissions linked to the manufacture of the car must be included. So it's better, but it's not zero emissions, as some advertisements would suggest.
-=== Chiffres ===
+=== Some figures ===
-* Un aller-retour Paris-New York émet deux tonnes d'équivalent {{CO2}}, soit la quantité de carbone annuel qu'un français moyen devrait attendre en 2050, seulement en un jour.
+* A single economy class roundtrip from New York (JFK) to Paris (CDG) emits the equivalent of 1.9 tonnes<ref>https://co2.myclimate.org/en/portfolios?calculation_id=4877644</ref> of CO<sub>2</sub>, which is almost the annual amount of carbon that the average person in the EU should reach in 2050.
