Italy's greenhouse gas emissions are
estimated to have decreased by 6.2% in 2023 compared to 2022,
according to a report released on Thursday by the ISPRA
environment agency.
It said the drop was driven by decarbonisation efforts in the
energy and industry sectors, subject to European ETS emission
taxation, and a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions from
heating due to mild winter periods.
The report added, however, that transport emissions continued to
increase, rising by about 1% due to the heavy use of cars and
road freight transport and the low market penetration of
electric cars.
