"Unavoidable emissions" refers to the release of harmful substances into the environment that cannot be prevented or eliminated. These emissions occur as a result of various human activities, such as industrial processes, transportation, and energy production, which release carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases. Despite efforts to reduce or control them, these emissions continue to be produced due to the nature of these activities or the lack of feasible alternatives.
