Air emissions accounts, 2021
CO2 emissions up by 3%, PM10 by almost a tenth
Most CO2 emissions were generated in electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply. In all types of transport 42.2% of all CO2 emissions were generated.
CO2 emissions from households higher by almost a fifth
In 2021, CO2 emissions increased by 3.0% (from 13.2 million tonnes to 13.6 million tonnes). In all NACE activities most CO2 emissions were generated in electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply (4.3 million tonnes), followed by manufacturing (2.7 million tonnes) and transportation and storage (0.9 million tonnes). In all other activities 2.2 million tonees of CO2 were generated. On the other hand, households generated 3.6 million tonnes of CO2, which is 17.5% more than a year before. Among all NACE activities, the CO2 emissions increased the most in transportation in storage (by 7.8%).
In transportation and storage more than one tenth of NOx emissions were generated
26,300 tonnes of NOx emissions were generated in 2021, which is a 1.6% increase over the previous year. 25.3% of emissions were generated in households, while among all NACE activities the most NOx emissions were generated in agriculture, forestry and fishing (17.8%), followed by manufacturing (17.2%) and transportation and storage (9.9%). In all other activities 16.9% of NOx emissions were generated.
On year-on-year basis PFC emissions decreased the most
Compared to the previous year, PFC emissions decreased the most (by 18.7%), followed by HFC emissions (by 3.9%). The highest increase was recorded in emissions of CO2 from biomass (by exactly one-tenth), while emissions of PM10 increased by 9.3% and emissions of SOx by 3.3%. NH3 emissions did not change year-on-year.
In transport 5.7 million tonnes of CO2 were generated
In all types of transport together 5.7 million tonnes of CO2 were generated, which is 42.2% of total emissions. In this activity 11,700 tonnes of NOx emissions (43.8% of all) and 1,900 tonnes of PM10 emissions (12.6% of all) were generated. CO2 emissions increased by 16.6% in a year-on-year basis.
CO2 emissions of resident units abroad higher that emissions of non-residents abroad at 1 million tonnes
Resident units abroad generated 1 million tonnes of CO2 emissions, 2,600 tonnes of NOx emissions and 76 tonnes of PM10 emissions. On the other hand, non-resident units in Slovenia generated 0.7 million tonnes of CO2 emissions, 6,800 tonnes of NOx emissions and 147 tonnes of PM10 emissions.
The years 2020 and 2021 were largely affected by measures related to the COVID-19 epidemic, which is partly mirrored in air emissions data. After a significant decrease in CO2 emissions from road transport in 2020, we recorded an increase in the next year. Transport as a process represents a significant source of emissions, especially of greenhouse gases.
