In "Austria's Annual Greenhouse Gas Inventory 1990–2020" the Umweltbundesamt presents updated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Austria covering the 2nd commitment period under the Kyoto-Protocol. In 2020, total GHG emissions amounted to 73.6 Mt CO2e. This corresponds to a 6.2% decrease compared to 1990 and a 7.7% decrease compared to 2019. Key drivers for the development were the pandemic-related lower fossil fuel sales as well as the decommissioning of a coal-fired power plant and lower electricity production from natural gas power plants in 2020.
GHG emissions according to Article 2(1) of Decision No. 406/2009/EC (“Effort Sharing Decision”) amounted to 46.5 Mt CO2e in 2020 and were thus 1.2 Mt CO2e below the annual emission allocation for 2020. Content and format of this report are in accordance with the obligations under the GHG Monitoring Mechanism Regulation (EU) No. 525/2013.
