IMPACT OF FUEL CONSUMPTION ON CO2 EMISSIONS IN ROAD TRANSPORT IN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES

Given the increasing challenges posed by climate change, reducing carbon – dioxide (CO2) emissions has become one of the key goals of the global community. Carbon – dioxide emissions are directly linked to the consumption of fossil fuels, which are used in various sectors, including transportation, industry, and energy. This research is based on conducted detailed analysis of fuel consumption in several European countries, in the period from 2011 to 2022. The results are presented through diagrams that clearly illustrate CO2 emissions per capita, broken down by different types of fuel, allowing for better insight into their contribution to total emissions.
