Finland's greenhouse gas emissions 6 per cent below the commitment level of the Kyoto Protocol
According to the preliminary estimate to be
submitted to the European Commission on 15 January 2010, greenhouse
gas emissions in Finland amounted to 66.4 Mt of CO2 equivalent in
2009. Compared with the previous year, emissions decreased by six
per cent. Decreases took place in all sectors. Decreases were most
notable in emissions from industrial processes (26%), use of fuels
in industry and construction (23%) and transport (5%). Emissions
from agriculture and waste management declined by three to four per
cent. The net sink of the Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry
(LULUCF) sector grew considerably to 40.7 million tonnes. Sinks of
the LULUCF sector are not included as full amounts in the
commitments under the Kyoto Protocol.
