The annual greenhouse gas emissions in Greece increased by 1.7 million tons of CO2 equivalent (+2.11 percent) in 2022. In total, the annual greenhouse gas emissions amounted to 82.24 million tons of CO2 equivalent in 2022. The European Union (EU) as a party to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) reports annually its greenhouse gas inventory for the year t-2 and within the area covered by its Member States. The inventory contains data on carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) and nitrogen trifluoride (NF3). The EU inventory is fully consistent with national greenhouse gas inventories compiled by the EU Member States.
Total annual greenhouse gas emissions including international aviation in Greece from 2013 to 2022
(in million tons of CO₂ equivalent)
All sectors and indirect CO₂ (excluding LULUCF and memo items, including international aviation)
For this statistic, the values reported by the source have been rounded.
According to the source, 'The annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are estimated and reported under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the Kyoto Protocol and the Decision 525/2013/EC. The so called Kyoto basket includes six gases: carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄), nitrous oxide (N₂O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulphur hexafluoride (SF₆). The impact of land use, land use changes and forestry (LULUCF) on the GHG inventories is excluded. International aviation is included. Emissions are weighted according to the global warming potential of each gas. To obtain emissions in CO₂-equivalents using their global warming potential (GWP) the following weighting factors are used: CH₄=25 and N₂O=298, NF₃=17200 and SF₆=22800. HFCs and PFCs comprise a large number of different gases that have different GWPs.'
