Quarterly greenhouse gas emissions in the EU-27 2010-2023

Figures are estimates

This metadata refers to the dataset Air emissions accounts for greenhouse gases by NACE Rev. 2 activity - quarterly data.

This dataset reports greenhouse gases emissions into the atmosphere due to economic activities of resident units (businesses, families and government). Greenhouse gases emitted by the entire national economy are covered. The greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O) and fluorinated gases. The emissions are broken down by emitter categories related to the NACE Rev.2 classification of economic activities. The quarterly estimates are modelled based on annual environmental accounting data.

Natural flows of residual gaseous are excluded e.g. volcanos, forest fires. Also excluded are air emissions arising from land use, land use changes and forestry as well as any indirect emissions.
