Air emissions accounts, 2022
CO2 emissions slightly lower
In 2022, CO2 emissions in Slovenia decreased by 3.2% compared to the year before. PM10 emissions were lower by almost a tenth.
CO2 emissions from electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply almost a fifth lower, but from transportation and storage a third higher
Compared to 2021, the amount of CO2 emissions decreased by 3.2% from 13.1 million tonnes to 12.7 million tonnes. Emissions from households went up by 6.6%. As regards economic activities, emissions from electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply decreased by 18.8% and from manufacturing by 6.3%. A large increase was recorded in transportation and storage (by 33.0%).
The majority of CO2 emissions originated from manufacturing and service activities; the largest CO2 emissions were generated in electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply (3.5 million tonnes or 27.7%), followed by manufacturing (2.6 million tonnes or 20.1%) and transportation and storage (1.3 million tonnes or 10.0%). In all other NACE activities, 2.2 million tonnes or 17.1% of all CO2 emissions were generated. In 2022, the households generated 3.2 million tonnes or 25.6% of CO2 emissions.
Over a half of PM10 emissions originated from households
14,800 tonnes of PM10 emissions were generated, which is a 9.1% decrease over the previous year. The majority (54.0%) of PM10 emission were generated in households, mostly in heating and cooling. The remaining share of those emissions was generated in manufacturing and service activities, mostly in construction (3,500 tonnes or 23.5% of all).
CO emissions increased the most
Compared to the previous year, the highest increase was recorded in CO emissions (by 101.9%), mostly due to higher amount of those emissions from air transport. On the other hand, PFC emissions decreased the most (by 44.8%), followed by SOx emissions (by 18.8%).
In transport NOx emissions remained practically at the same level
CO2 emissions from all types of transport increased by 3.4% year-on-year. Altogether 5.4 million tonnes of CO2 were generated, which is 42.6% of total emissions. In this activity 11,000 tonnes of NOx emissions (44.2% of all) and 2,000 tonnes of PM10 emissions (13.4% of all) were generated.
Non-residents in Slovenia generated less CO2 emissions than resident units abroad
A comparison of emissions generated by resident and non-resident units shows that resident units abroad generated 1.0 million tonnes of CO2 emissions, 1,900 tonnes of NOx emissions and 79 tonnes of PM10 emissions. On the other hand, non-resident units in Slovenia generated 0.5 million tonnes of CO2 emissions, 961 tonnes of NOx emissions and 52 tonnes of PM10 emissions.

METHODOLOGICAL NOTE
The period of 2020–2022 was largely affected by measures related to the COVID-19 epidemic, which is partly mirrored in air emissions data and reflects in annual comparisons.
In case of emissions from all types of transport, transport as a process is monitored. Emissions from road, air and water transport are taken into account.
Some amounts may not add up due to rounding.
Additional explanations are available in the methodological explanations.
