Transportation and climate change

In Slovenia, conventional vehicle propulsion is strongly predominant

Fossil fuels private cars are dominant mode of transport in Slovenia

Key message

Energy use accounts for 82% of total greenhouse gas emissions in Slovenia. The largest source of emissions is electricity and heat production, followed by transport. After the EU Emission Trading Scheme (EU-ETS) was introduced, only emissions from sources not included in the EU-ETS system have been relevant for achieving the country's goals concerning the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 2020. By far the largest source is transport, which accounts for 51%, while all energy-related sources combined account for 76%. In 2013, emissions were 12.5% below the target value for that year.

Definition

The indicator shows past energy-related greenhouse gas emissions (of carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄), nitrous oxide (N₂O) and F-gases), Kyoto Protocol targets in the 2008–2012 period and analyses of their trends.
