It mostly is an energy problem [0]. Energy, transport and industry produce 70% of the emissions. Solutions to reduce them already exist it's just that the politicians refuse to use them.

The source you linked is a per-year breakdown for Germany only. Especially considering that it's a well-developed country that isn't a large commercial producer, I'd be very surprised if those results can be extrapolated onto the rest of the world.
