Answer preview
The transportation industry is one of the significant generators of carbon footprint. According to Albuquerque et al. (2020), approximately 15% of the energy-linked emissions can be attributed to this industry. Albuquerque et al. (2020) further posit that almost all the transportation energy used by the globe emanates from burning gasoline or fuel. Transportation via road is responsible for most of these emissions. Passenger cars, sport utility cars, minivans, trucks, as well as heavy- and medium-duty trucks are among the largest sources of transport-related GHG emissions (Albuquerque et al., 2020). Operating vehicles is not the sole source of road transportation’s carbon footprint. Road projects often generate a carbon footprint even prior to becoming operational. According to Albuquerque et al. (2020), the activities undertaken during the construction of roads, such as excavation and the transportation of labor and materials, generate large amounts of greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, maintaining and rehabilitating
