CO2 emissions from biomass burning on the rise
In 2020 the combustion of biomass produced 19 megatonnes of CO2, 16 percent up on the previous year.
Greenhouse gas emissions almost back at pre-COVID level
In Q2 2021, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions showed a year-on-year increase of 11 percent. This means emissions are nearing pre-COVID levels.
Greenhouse gas emissions higher in Q1 2021
In Q1 2021, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions showed a year-on-year increase of 1.4 percent. This is mainly due to higher natural gas consumption for heating and higher electricity production.
