3 November 2022 at 08:49 Greenhouse gas emissions down 0.7 per cent last year Emissions of greenhouse gases in Norway fell 0.7 per cent last year compared to the previous year, new figures from Statistics Norway show. The final figures from Statistics Norway (SSB) show that emissions of greenhouse gases in Norway were 48.9 million tonnes of CO2 equivalents last year. This is a decrease of 0.7 per cent from 2020, and is 4.7 per cent lower than in 1990. – There was a slight decrease in greenhouse gas emissions last year, after we had a larger reduction in 2020 which could largely be attributed to the pandemic . In 2021, emissions from both road traffic, industry and agriculture increased, while they decreased in oil and gas extraction, says senior advisor at Statistics Norway Trude Melby Bothner. The figures show a decline in, among other things, oil and gas extraction and road traffic, while there has been an increase in emissions from agriculture, as well as industry and mining. (NTB)
