Near-term forecast of Austrian greenhouse gas emissions for 2022 (Nowcast 2023).

Description

The near-term forecast of greenhouse gas emissions was carried out using a simplified methodology and shows preliminary emissions for 2022 of around 72.6 million tonnes. Compared to 2021, this represents a decrease of 6.4% or 5.0 million CO2 equivalent. Emissions reported by emissions trading facilities were 7.2% lower in 2022, at 26.6 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent. This is mainly due to declines in industry (including lower steel production) and the refinery. In the non-ETS sectors, around 45.9 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent were emitted in 2022. The decrease in emissions of around 5.9% compared to 2021 is mainly due to lower consumption of fuels (-4%), heating oil (-16%) and natural gas (-14%).
