Greenhouse gas emissions from fuel combustion in the energy sector in Italy 1990-2020
In 2020, fuel combustion in the energy sector accounted for almost 300 million tons of CO2 equivalent of greenhouse gas emissions in Italy. Fuel combustion in the transportation sector was the main source of GHG emissions in the Italian energy sector. The level of emissions increased constantly up to 2005, when it peaked at 478 million tons of CO2 equivalent. Thereafter, the GHG emissions from fuel combustion decreased considerably and reached a minimum in 2020.
