Transportation in the European Union emitted 50,270 metric tons of black carbon in 2019. Road transportation was responsible for nearly 90 percent of this total. Transportation accounted for roughly 45 percent of black carbon emissions in the EU in 2000, but by 2019 this share had fallen to 30 percent. Black carbon is a short-lived climate pollutant, and a component of fine particulate matter. Short-lived climate pollutants have a shorter life span than carbon dioxide, but can have a greater impact on global warming.
