Part A
Structural Essay
1) A. The power sources and their associated emissions are a critical aspect of our global energy system.
Here’s a brief overview:
Power Sources:
•Fossil Fuels: Coal, oil, and natural gas are the traditional sources of
electricity but are also the largest contributors to CO2 emissions
•Renewables: Solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal power are key low-
emission sources. Renewable’s capacity is expected to triple by 2030, led by solar PV
and wind.
•Nuclear: Nuclear energy is a low-emission source that does not produce
CO2 during electricity generation.
Emissions:
•Electricity and Heat Production: The largest contributor to global
emissions, primarily from burning fossil fuels.
•Transport: A significant source of emissions, especially in countries like
the United States.
•Agriculture: Mainly methane from livestock and nitrous oxide from
fertilizers, significant in countries like Brazil
