| * __Energy:__ Emissions from the energy sector fell by 39% compared to 1990 to 972 million tonnes of CO<sub>2</sub>eq per year. Emissions from the energy sector began to decline significantly after 2007. In recent years we have seen a more rapid decline, which can be expected to continue in the future, given the EU's commitment to achieving <glossary id="co2eq">climate neutrality</glossary> by 2050. | ||
| Emissions in the energy sector come primarily from electricity and heat production. These emissions can be reduced through energy savings and the development of renewable and low-carbon energy sources. They also come from leakages from fuel extraction, fuel production and treatment and oil processing. | ||
| * __Transport:__ Transport emissions increased by 33% compared to 1990 to 968 million tonnes of CO<sub>2</sub>eq per year. The detailed graph on the right shows a temporary drop in emissions after 2007 due to the global financial crisis and the subsequent economic recession. Since 2013, emissions can be seen to have risen again. GHG emissions from transport are primarily from the combustion of fossil fuels in the engines of road transport vehicles. (In 2019, 81% of all emissions from the transport sector were from transport, with aviation accounting for 15%.) |

Thanks, I covered:
- Added comma
- Shortened the sentence.
- Updated to "road transport". (IMPORTANT)

@tjarnikova as this comment one is marked with "IMPORTANT", I will leave it open for you to resolve.
| * __Combustion in industry and construction:__ Emissions fell by 41% to 429 million tonnes of CO<sub>2</sub>eq in 2019. Emissions come from the combustion of fossil fuels for industrial use, typically when something needs to be heated in production (during melting, drying, distillation, etc.). | ||
| For example, emissions from combustion in heavy industry (iron and steel production) have halved by 2019. | ||
| * __Agriculture:__ Emissions from the agricultural sector have fallen by 21% since 1990 to 382 million tonnes of CO<sub>2</sub>eq per year. Emissions come mainly from livestock farming and soil cultivation and associated N<sub>2</sub>O emissions. | ||
| Reducing methane emissions from agriculture would lead to a reduction in the number of livestock kept (and the associated reduction in the consumption of beef and dairy products), a change in the management of manure (for example, by stabilising it in biogas plants) and less intensive fertiliser application. However, reducing livestock farming can also harm soil quality, availability of natural fertiliser, etc. |

Thanks, indeed, this is something that I took from DeepL.
I have taken a verbatim copy of the suggested text.

@tjarnikova as per other comment, I will let you resolve this one as it is IMPORTANT (and a mistranslation).

@katkolouchova I was checking the text agains the infographic and noticed that the original text is referring to "41%" but the Infographic on the English page shows "42% under "Combustion in industry and construction"-graph. Is there possibly a typo? Actually, I just checked the official published page:
It looks like the Czech Infographic has been updated and contains different numbers. |
