This just isn’t true. Agriculture and industrial emissions only account for 33% of GHG emissions—not 91% as you suggest.

Look at the chart with electricity distributed amongst the other categories. It's 41% for agriculture and industrial.

Another 29% comes from transportation; this isn't broken this out between personal and commercial vehicles, but presumably you could attribute a significant amount of this to industrial rather than personal use.

So that 29% transportation figure is only personal vehicles then? It doesn't include trucks, freight ships or cargo planes?
