CO 2 emissions in the national and regional power sector

The report examines the dynamics of the main parameters of the national power sector in relation to carbon dioxide emissions. The role of the factors that determine the trend of greenhouse gas emissions was analysed: mix of fossil and renewable sources, transformation efficiency and fuel- specific emission factors. Emission factors for greenhouse gases and other air pollutants due to electricity generation were carried out. Moreover, the emission factors for electricity demand are developed.

The national data of electricity supply and demand has been disaggregated at regional level to develop emission factors for the production and consumption of electricity in each region,
considering the regional energy mix for inner production and the demand satisfied by inter-regional and abroad import-export. The emission factors for regional electricity consumption consider indirect emissions, produced by other regions.
