Emissions of greenhouse gases according to IPCC guide-lines

This table contains annual figures on the emissions of greenhouse gases into the air in the Netherlands. This concerns the emissions of total substances in CO2 equivalent and the emissions of the individual gases: carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrous oxide (N2O), methane (CH4) and fluorinated gases (F-gases). The emissions are broken down by climate sectors, as used within the Dutch Climate Agreement, and underlying sectors.
The greenhouse gas emissions to the 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 their consequences. The IPCC provides (scientific) guidance for the implementation of the Kyoto Protocol.
For a complete overview, the air emissions of bunker fuels sold in the Netherlands for international aviation and international shipping are also included. These emissions are not covered by the IPCC directive. They do not count towards the greenhouse gas emissions that the Netherlands provides to the IPCC and are therefore not included in the total figure.

Data available from: 1990.

Status of the figures:
The figures from 1990 to 2024 are final, the data of 2025 are provisional.
To ensure a coherent and consistent time series, the complete data set is (re)calculated each year when the final figures are determined, allowing the latest insights to be incorporated into the calculations.

Changes as of 3 September 2026:
Addition of provisional figures 2025. Bunker fuel emissions now exclude CO2 emissions from the biogenic component of the energy carriers. In previous versions, these emissions had inadvertently been included.

When will new figures be available?
Final figures for 2025 will be published in February 2027.
