Austria's Annual Greenhouse Gas Inventory 1990–2022.

In the ‘Austria's Annual Greenhouse Gas Inventory 1990–2022’ report, the Umweltbundesamt presents updated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Austria. In 2022, total GHG emissions amounted to 72.8 Mt CO2e. This corresponds to a 7.9% decrease compared to 1990 and a 5.8% decrease compared to 2021. Key drivers for the development 2021–2022 were the lower natural gas and gasoil consumption, as well as lower diesel oil sales especially in fuel exports with heavy duty vehicles in category Transport. Emissions of GHG covered by EU Regulation No. 2018/842 (‘Effort Sharing Regulation’) amounted to around 46.2 Mt CO2e in 2022 and were thus below the annual emission allocation for that year. Content and format of this report are in accordance with the obligations under the Governance Regulation (EU) No. 218/1999.
