carbon-intensive industries
Carbon-intensive industries refer to sectors and activities that entail high levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions during their production processes or operations. These industries typically rely on fossil fuels or other carbon-intensive energy sources, resulting in substantial greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change. Examples of carbon-intensive industries include coal mining, oil and gas extraction, cement production, and heavy manufacturing.
