Hi there. 1. It's better to rephrase the first sentence, because it almost entirely copies the task question. 2. is emitted - you're writing about events in the past, so it's better to use the Past tense. 3. "Overall" - is not a good word to start your essay, it can be better used in your ending section. 4. Too many repetitions of the word "emission", especially in the last sentence of the third paragraph. 5. It is better to have a summary as the last paragraph where you can mention all the trends but in shorter form.
