Reducing emissions from transportation is critical for the climate and for air quality The role of transportation is a significant part of this ongoing work because that sector is the largest emitter of global warming emissions in the country, having surpassed the power sector in 2017. These emissions, which in 2022 were 37.4 Secondary PM 2.5

Flaring, demonstrated in the photo on the right, is the uncontrolled burning of excess or unwanted petroleum pools such as, excuse me, flaring can be a significant source of air pollution such as nitrogen oxides and greenhouse gas emissions. It is also an additional source of noise and light pollution.
