The latest edition of the ISPRA publication "Greenhouse gas emissions in Italy" is online. Reduction objectives for 2030".

The trend in greenhouse gas emissions is decreasing and, thanks to the growth in recent years of energy production from renewable sources (hydroelectric and wind) and the transition to the use of fuels with lower carbon content, in 2022 they will mark a - 21% since 1990.

Despite the positive trend, greenhouse gas emissions in Italy in the last two years continue to grow and reach a total of 413 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent in 2022 (+0.4% compared to 2021). The constant increase in the transport sector is decisive, over 90% of whose emissions come from road transport, which compared to the previous year marks a +5% and confirms a trend that knows no pauses and exceeds 7% since 1990, a value in contrast to those of all other economic sectors which on the contrary recorded marked reductions, with the exception of waste which represents approximately 5% of the national total.
