Italy: total annual greenhouse gas emissions 2022

Despite decreasing by over 150 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent between 2008 ad 2022, greenhouse gas emissions in Italy were still at 419 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent in 2022. This figure marked an increase compared to the previous year.

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 sulfur 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."
