Greenhouse gas emissions in
Italy declined by the equivalent of 84 million tonnes of CO2
between 1990 and 2013, falling from 521 to 437 million, a fall
of 16.1%, the ISPRA institute said Monday.
The reduction is due to a decline in energy consumption due
to the economic recession, especially in 2008, as well as to
relocation of industries and growth in the use of renewable
energy sources as well as more efficient use of energy.
Methane (CH4) and N20 emissions declined by 18.3% and 29.6%
respectively over the same 23 year period.
