Greenhouse gas emissions in the Netherlands 1990-2022. National Inventory Report 2024
report
Total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the Netherlands decreased by 7.6 per cent in 2022, compared to the 2021 emissions. This decrease was mainly the result of lower natural gas consumption by industry, households, and agriculture due to higher natural gas prices. In 2022, the share of renewable energy was 15 per cent of total final energy consumption. In 2021, this share was 13 per cent. In 2022, total GHG emissions (including indirect CO2 emissions and including emissions from the Land use, land use change and forestry sector (LULUCF)) in the Netherlands amounted to 158.4 Tg CO2-eq. This is approximately 30.5 per cent below the emissions in the base year
1990 (228.1 Tg CO2-eq). Thanks to this emission reduction, the Netherlands met the Urgenda target (by which national GHG emissions must be reduced by at least 25 per cent relative to 1990). CO2 emissions in 2022 were 21.6 per cent 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 55.8 per cent over this period. This report documents the Netherlands’ annual submission for 2024 of its GHG emissions inventory 1990-2022 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) and the Paris Agreement (PA). The report contributes to fulfilling the reporting requirements under the Governance Regulation of the Energy Union (EU 2018/1999) and implementing regulations.
