Emissions of greenhouse gases according to IPCC guide-lines
Dutch greenhouse gas emissions, calculated according to the IPCC directives, by source category
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.
More electricity from coal and renewable sources, less from gas
In Q2 2022, electricity production from coal increased by 40 percent year on year.
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.
More electricity from renewable sources, less from fossil sources
In 2021, electricity production declined by 2.2 billion kWh year on year, to 117.9 billion kWh.
Natural gas consumption 4 percent lower in 2021
In 2021, total natural gas consumption in the Netherlands amounted to 40 billion cubic metres (m3), against 42 billion in the previous year.
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.
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.
Electricity production hits record level in 2020
In 2020, net electricity production was 1.3 billion kWh higher than in 2019, reaching the highest level ever measured.
Electricity production 14 percent up in Q3
In Q3 2020, net electricity production was 3.8 billion kWh higher than in Q3 2019.
Greenhouse gas emissions 3 percent down in 2019
In 2019, greenhouse gas emissions declined by 3 percent (5.7 megatonnes) to 182.5 megatonnes of CO2 equivalents year-on-year.
