Greenhouse gas emissions remained approximately at the same level in Q3 2024 as in Q3 2023.

Emissions of greenhouse gases, IPCC Climate sector, quarter

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions were 4 percent lower in Q2 2024 than in Q21 2023. This was mainly due to a fall in emissions of the electricity and moblity sector.

How prepared is the Netherlands to withstand such a major shock in the short-term? To what extent is the Netherlands dependent on the rest of the world?

Recent data on Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 13 Climate action. SDG 13 aims to tackle climate change caused by humans. Under the 2015 Paris Agreement, countries committed to restricting global...

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions were 4 percent lower in Q1 2024 than in Q1 2023. This was mainly due to a fall in emissions of 17 percent in the electricity sector.

In 2023, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions were 6 percent lower than in 2022. This was mainly due to lower emissions from the electricity sector.

In Q3 2023, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions were 9 percent lower than in Q3 2022. This was mainly due to lower emissions from the electricity sector.

Between 2019 and 2022, the share of renewable energy in the Netherlands rose from 9 to 15 percent.

In Q2 2023, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions were 5 percent lower than in Q2 2022. This was mainly due to lower emissions from the electricity sector.

In Q1 2023, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions were 4 percent lower than in Q1 2022. This was mainly due to lower emissions from the built environment and manufacturing.

In 2022, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions were 9 percent lower than in 2021. This was mainly due to lower natural gas consumption in manufacturing, the built environment and agriculture

In 2021, most types of agricultural emissions were lower than in 1995, in spite of higher agricultural output. Reduction of greenhouse gas and nitrogen emissions has stagnated in recent years.

Dutch greenhouse gas emissions, calculated according to the IPCC directives, by source category

In Q3 2022, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions showed a year-on-year decrease of 4 percent. This is mainly because natural gas consumption was down.

In Q2 2022, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions showed a year-on-year decrease of 9 percent. This is mainly because natural gas consumption was down.

In Q1 2022, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions showed a year-on-year decrease of 11 percent. This is mainly because natural gas consumption was down by a quarter.

In 2021, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions showed a year-on-year increase of 2.1 percent. This means that the sharp reduction of emissions in 2020 did not continue.

In 2020, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the Netherlands were 25.5 percent below the level of 1990.

IIn Q3 2021, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions showed a year-on-year decrease of 3 percent. The decrease is mainly due to lower electricity production.

In 2020 the combustion of biomass produced 19 megatonnes of CO2, 16 percent up on the previous year.

In Q2 2021, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions showed a year-on-year increase of 11 percent. This means emissions are nearing pre-COVID levels.

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.

In 2020, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions showed a year-on-year decline of 8 percent to 166 megatonnes CO2 equivalent.

In 2019, greenhouse gas emissions declined by 3 percent (5.7 megatonnes) to 182.5 megatonnes of CO2 equivalents year-on-year.
