Euronews.green writes that CO2-equivalents (CO2e) reached a total of 938 million tons during the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to the same time-frame of the previous year, which saw 978 million tons.
With the exception of Ireland, Latvia, Denmark and Malta, all other 23 member states saw a decrease in carbon emissions output. Experts said that the biggest reductions were registered in Slovenia, the Netherlands and Slovakia.
Six of the nine analyzed industries saw a reduction in terms of greenhouse gas emissions, with the most significant, at 9.7%, being the production and supply of electricity to households.
The EU, which is responsible for around 6% of the world's total greenhouse gas emissions, promised to more than halve its pollution output by 2030.
