Emissions from transport

  • Road transport represents around 95% of CO2 emissions from transport (roughly stable over time). 
  • Emissions decreased from 2007 to 2013 (-1.6%/year) and increased from 2014 to 2019 by 1.5%/year, following consumption trends. 
  • This rise was stopped by the Covid breakout with emissions falling by 13.5% in 2020. 
  • In 2022, CO2 emissions from transport were still 3.6% lower than in 2019 and similar to 2000 level.
