Climate Action Report 2020.

In 2018, around 79.0 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent were emitted in Austria. As a result, emissions were around 0.6% higher than in 1990. Compared to the previous year 2017, greenhouse gas emissions fell by 3.7%. The main reasons for the decline were the maintenance-related decommissioning of a large blast furnace and lower electricity generation from natural gas. The non-ETS sectors emitted 50.5 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent in 2018. These greenhouse gas emissions were thus 1.6 million tonnes higher than the national emission ceiling for 2018. However, compliance with the national target by 2020 is still likely, as unused emission allowances from previous years are available. Consistent emission reductions in all sectors are essential for the 2030 and 2050 climate targets.2018年，奥地利共排放约7900万吨二氧化碳当量（CO₂ equivalent）。相较1990年，该排放量高出约0.6%；而与2017年相比，该国温室气体排放总量下降3.7%。此次排放量下降的主要原因，为一座大型高炉因维护需求关停退役，以及天然气发电量有所降低。2018年，该国非排放交易体系（Emissions Trading System, ETS）部门的二氧化碳当量排放量达5050万吨，较该国2018年的国家排放上限高出160万吨。尽管如此，由于可使用往年结余的未使用排放配额，奥地利仍有望在2020年前达成国家减排目标。若要实现2030年与2050年的气候目标，全行业持续推进减排工作至关重要。
