Greenhouse gas emissions 5 percent lower in Q2 2023
In Q2 2023, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions were 5 percent lower than in Q2 2022. This was mainly due to lower emissions from the electricity sector.
Greenhouse gas emissions 4 percent lower in Q1 2023
In Q1 2023, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions were 4 percent lower than in Q1 2022. This was mainly due to lower emissions from the built environment and manufacturing.
Greenhouse gas emissions 9 percent lower in 2022
In 2022, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions were 9 percent lower than in 2021. This was mainly due to lower natural gas consumption in manufacturing, the built environment and agriculture
Agricultural emissions lower than in 1995, no more decline in recent years
In 2021, most types of agricultural emissions were lower than in 1995, in spite of higher agricultural output. Reduction of greenhouse gas and nitrogen emissions has stagnated in recent years.

Greenhouse gas emissions 4 percent lower in Q3 2022
In Q3 2022, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions showed a year-on-year decrease of 4 percent. This is mainly because natural gas consumption was down.
Greenhouse gas emissions 9 percent lower in Q2 2022
In Q2 2022, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions showed a year-on-year decrease of 9 percent. This is mainly because natural gas consumption was down.
Greenhouse gas emissions 11 percent lower in Q1 2022
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.
Greenhouse gas emissions 2.1 percent higher in 2021
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.
Urgenda reduction target for GHG emissions achieved in 2020
In 2020, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the Netherlands were 25.5 percent below the level of 1990.
Greenhouse gas emissions lower in Q3 2021
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.
CO2 emissions from biomass burning on the rise
In 2020 the combustion of biomass produced 19 megatonnes of CO2, 16 percent up on the previous year.
Greenhouse gas emissions almost back at pre-COVID level
In Q2 2021, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions showed a year-on-year increase of 11 percent. This means emissions are nearing pre-COVID levels.
Greenhouse gas emissions higher in Q1 2021
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.
Greenhouse gas emissions 8 percent down in 2020
In 2020, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions showed a year-on-year decline of 8 percent to 166 megatonnes CO2 equivalent.
Half of transport GHG emissions are from aviation
In 2018, the volume of greenhouse gases (GHGs) emitted by the Dutch transport sector amounted to 26 billion CO2 equivalents.
Greenhouse gas emissions down
Greenhouse gas emissions stood at 189.3 bn CO2 equivalents in 2018, 2 percent lower than in 2017 and 15 percent down on 1990.
Dutch environmental footprint increases slightly
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...
Slight drop in greenhouse gas emissions
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...
