Explanation of symbols

Dataset is not available.


This table contains annual figures on the total Dutch emissions of the greenhouse gases carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4), broken down into stationary and mobile sources.
Fluorine-containing gases that contribute to the greenhouse effect are not included.
The greenhouse gas emissions to air have been calculated according to the regulations of the climate panel IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change). IPCC was founded by the United Nations and aims to map and share the available knowledge in the field of climate, climate change and its consequences.

Data available from 1990 to 2021.

Status of the figures:
The figures from 1990 to 2021 are final. In order to obtain a consistent time series the complete data set is (re)calculated when necessary, so as to be able to include the latest insights in the survey, especially in the case of emission factors.

Changes as of 13 February 2024:
None, this table was discontinued

When will new figures be published?
No longer applicable. This table is succeeded by the table: Emissions of greenhouse gases according to IPCC guide-lines. See section 3.

Description topics

CO2
Carbon dioxide.

CO2 is formed by the combustion of carbon in fuels. Greenhouse gas (causes the temperature of the earth's atmosphere to rise gradually).
