Take a look

Fossil fuels private cars are dominant mode of transport in Slovenia

Avto na fosilna goriva je naše primarno prevozno sredstvo

Alternative drives are dominated by electric vehicles and hybrids

Transportation and climate change

The emission of primary particles, smaller than 10 µm (PM₁₀), particles smaller than 2.5 µm (PM_2.5) and all total suspended particles (TSP) have decreased in the period 2000 – 2021 in Slovenia by 21 %, 29 % and 20 %. The main source of emissions of particulate matter are households, mainly due to use of biomass for domestic heating.
