Quarterly estimates of greenhouse gas emission in accordance with the IPCC guidelines.

Statistics Netherlands published a first estimate of greenhouse gas emissions in 2020 in mid-March 2021. This is the result of a new methodology that was developed to estimate quarterly emissions in accordance with the IPCC guidelines.

This paper summarizes the applied methodology and outcomes of the study, which was conducted by Statistics Netherlands in cooperation with the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM)/Dutch Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (PRTR), and financed by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy in the Netherlands.
