Determining Dutch emissions to the air, both greenhouse gases and air pollutants, broken down into stationary and mobile sources, and in accordance with international regulations.

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.

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

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.

In 2018, the volume of greenhouse gases (GHGs) emitted by the Dutch transport sector amounted to 26 billion CO2 equivalents.

What is our greenhousgas footprint?

How much greenhouse gas does the transport sector emit?

How do emissions compare to economic growth?

Greenhouse gas emissions stood at 189.3 bn CO2 equivalents in 2018, 2 percent lower than in 2017 and 15 percent down on 1990.

Which sectors emit greenhouse gases?

The average greenhouse gas footprint of Dutch consumers rose from 15.1 tonnes CO2 equivalents per capita in 2017 to 15.8 tonnes in 2018. Between 2008 and 2016 the footprint declined. Consumption of...

In 2018, greenhouse gas emissions in the Netherlands were 2 percent lower than one year previously. This is related to less coal being used for electricity production. The emission intensity of the...

Energy consumption stood at 3,100 petajoules in 2018, around 50 petajoules less than one year earlier.

The registry at and monitoring of the ETS – companies by the Dutch Emissions Authority (NEa, Nederlandse Emissieautoriteit), are the starting point for linkage to the CBS data infrastructure in this...

Following a decline as of 2008, the GHG footprint of the Netherlands increased again, according to initial estimates.

In 2017, greenhouse gas emissions in the Netherlands were 1 percent lower than in the previous year.
