Source ISPRA: Emissions of greenhouse gases and air pollutants in Italy

For the However, a slight increase in emissions is expected in 2025 (0.3%) due above all to a greater use of natural gas for the production of electricity, also in relation to a reduction in hydroelectric production. However, the decline in emissions associated with the use of coal continues, in line with decarbonisation objectives.

Not all sectors show a reduction: transport emissionsresponsible for 31% of the national total and over 90% linked to road transport, continue to grow and are more than 10% higher than in 1990. Together with transport, the energy (18%), of residential (18%) e of the manufacturing industry (13%) contribute overall to around 80% of national emissions.

Starting from the early 2000s we observe a progressive decoupling between economic growth and CO₂ emissions: after a brief post-pandemic recovery, emissions begin to decline again while GDP continues to grow, reinforcing this trend.

Even on the front of air pollutants they register significant reductions between 1990 and 2024thanks to energy efficiency, renewables, technological innovation, stricter emission limits and cleaner fuels, including:

  • Sulfur oxides −96%

  • Nitrogen oxides −75%

  • Carbon monoxide −77%

  • Black carbon −67%

  • Cadmium −64%

  • Mercurio−65%

  • Lead −96%

    Strano che senza centrali nucleari siamo comunque migliorati oggettivamente, gli avvocati dell’atomo che hanno da dire?(SI poteva fare meglio!1!!!1)

    Non vorrei che anche la deindustrializzazione del paese, iniziata proprio negli anni 90, sia una delle cause
