In "Austria's Annual Greenhouse Gas Inventory 1990–2012" the
Umweltbundesamt presents updated figures of greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions in Austria. In 2012, the last year of the first commitment
period under the Kyoto Protocol, GHG emissions amounted to 80.2 million
tonnes of CO2 equivalents. This corresponds to a 2.8% increase
against the base-year level and a 3.3% decrease compared to 2011. The
key driver for the emissions decline from 2011 to 2012 was the decreasing
consumption of fossil fuels and the increased use of hydro power
for electrical power generation.
Content and format of this report are in accordance with the obligations
under the greenhouse gas monitoring mechanism (Regulation
525/2013/EC). Emission data have to be reported yearly to the European
Commission by 15 January, a complete, up-to-date National Inventory
Report (NIR) has to be submitted by 15 March.
