Carbon Intensity of the national economy reaches the lowest value since 1995. 82.1% of GHG emissions are concentrated in 5 industries (A82) which represent 13.9% of GVA - 2022
15 October 2024

Summary

In 2022, Global Warming Potential (GWP) grew 3.7% compared to the previous year, in an economic context marked by strong economic growth in which Gross Value Added (GVA) increased 6.9% in volume.

The Acidification Potential (ACID) and Tropospheric Ozone Formation Potential (TOFP) also increased, 4.9% and 4.2%, respectively.

The combination of the positive variation in GWP emissions (+3.7%) with the positive variation of greater intensity in the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) (+7.0%) led to a reduction in Carbon Intensity in the national economy of 2 .9%, the lowest result since 1995, the beginning of the series of observations.
