Austria's Annual Greenhouse Gas Inventory 1990-2007

In its report "Austria's annual greenhouse gas inventory 1990-2007", the Federal Environment Agency presents the latest developments in greenhouse gas emissions in Austria. The amount of greenhouse gas emissions in 2007 is 88 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent. This represents a reduction of 3.6 million or 3.9% compared to 2006 and an increase of 11.3% compared to the Kyoto base year of 1990. Driving factors compared to 2006 are the significant emission reductions in the space heating and energy application sectors due to the mild winter temperatures. The English report follows in format and content the mandatory requirements of the EU greenhouse gas monitoring system 280/2004/EC for the implementation of the Kyoto Protocol. It enshrines the annual transmission of updated greenhouse gas emission data to the European Commission on 15 January.
