Emissions of greenhouse gases according to IPCC guide-lines, quarter

This table contains quarterly and annual figures on the Dutch emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases (nitrous oxide (N2O), methane (CH4) and fluorinated gases. These are the emission figures broken down into six climate sectors (Industry, Power, Mobility, Built Environment, Agriculture, LULUCF), as used within the Dutch Climate Agreement, and in accordance with internationally established IPCC regulations. The IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) is an organization of the United Nations that prepares reports on scientific knowledge about climate change.

Data available from: 1st quarter of 2019

Status of the figures:
The figures for the four quarters of 2025 have a provisional status, just like the annual figures for 2025 and the two quarters of 2026. The four quarters of 2019 to 2024 and their annual figures have a final status.
In order to obtain coherent and consistent time series, the complete data set is recalculated annually (including those with a final status, in accordance with IPCC regulations), so that the latest insights, especially with regard to the emission factors, can be included in the recalculation. The annual recalculation takes place when the 4th quarter of the most recent reporting year is published (mid-March).

Changes as of 9 September 2026:
The figures for the second quarter of 2026 are included. The figures for the first quarter of 2026 and the annual figures for 2025 (and the four underlying quarters) have also been slightly revised.
In addition, the quarterly distribution of CO2 emissions from the climate sector Power has been adjusted for the entire time series. Specifically, CO2 emissions for 2023 and 2024 are now slightly lower in the first and fourth quarters and slightly higher in the second and third quarters. The annual totals remain unchanged.
