Approximately 67 percent of our electricity comes from burning fossil fuels, mostly coal and natural gas. (26 percent of 2014 greenhouse gas emissions) â Greenhouse gas emissions from transportation primarily come from burning fossil fuel for our cars, trucks, ships, trains, and planes. Over 90 percent of the fuel used for transportation is petroleum based, which includes gasoline and diesel.
As an aside: For the same amount of energy, coal produces more greenhouse gases (CO2) than gasoline. So, if your electricity is generated form coal (which is common), a fuel cell powered or electric car will probably produce more greenhouse gases than a gasoline powered car (of the same size, power, etc).
