Total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the Netherlands in 2020 decreased by 8.8 percent, in comparison with 2019 emissions. This decrease was mainly the result of several factors. Coal combustion for energy and heat production decreased, while the share of renewable energy increased up to 11.1 percent of total energy consumption. Besides, the Dutch economy and energy use were influenced by the COVID 19 pandemic. In 2020, total GHG emissions (including indirect CO2 emissions and excluding emissions from Land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF)) in the Netherlands amounted to 164.3 Tg CO2 eq. This is approximately 25.5 percent below the emissions in the base year 1990 (220.5 Tg CO2 eq.). CO2 emissions in 2020 were 15.0 percent below the level in the base year. The total of the emissions of methane, nitrous oxide and fluorinated gases (CH4, N2O and F-gases) was reduced by 54.9 percent over this period. This report documents the Netherlands’ annual submission for 2022 of its GHG emissions inventory in accordance with the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (IPCC, 2006) prescribed by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the Kyoto Protocol (KP) and the European Union’s Greenhouse Gas Monitoring Mechanism. This report includes explanations of observed trends in emissions, an assessment of the sources with the highest contribution to total national emissions (key sources) and a description of the uncertainty in the emissions estimates. Estimation methods, data sources and emission factors (EFs) are described for each source category, and there is also a description of the quality assurance system and the verification activities performed on the data. The report also describes changes in methodologies since the previous submission (NIR 2021), the results of recalculations and planned improvements. |
