Since CO2emissions in transportation continue to grow (+14.3 %,1990 – 2007), total Swiss emissions of CO2 from energy usehave remained steady at around 39 million t CO2/yeardespite a significant reduction in the industrial and residentialsectors during the last decade (– 14.6 %, 1990 – 2007,chart 6).Clearly, the focus of the Swiss climate strategy should beset on CO2 emissions in the road transportation sector(44 % of total Swiss emissions in 2007) and on private carsin particular, the greatest source (72 %) of CO2 emissionsin the sector (chart 7).Percentage15105+14.3 %Chart 7: Road transport CO2 emissions (2007)7 %–5–10–14.6 %–15Heat processRoad transport13 %8 %72 %Source: Ecoplan, “CO 2-Emissionen 2008 – 2012”, Annual report,SFOE September 2008Private cars Vans (delivery) Trucks and bussesOtherSource: Metron Ecoplan “Handelbare Vebrauchsgutschriften fürNeuwagen”, Greenpeace CH, January 200913
