Emissions from public electricity and heat production - explanatory indicators (ENER 009) (ENER 009) - Assessment published Aug 2011: Between 1990 and 2008, EEA32 emissions of sulphur dioxide (SO 2 ) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) from public electricity and heat production fell despite a 35% increase in the amount of electricity and heat produced. Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions decreased by 4.3% from the 1990 baseline, primarily as a result of the economic downturn. SO 2 emissions fell by 70%, due mainly to abatement techniques, use of low-sulphur fuels, and fossil fuel switching. NOx emissions fell by 41%, primarily due to abatement techniques. Some emissions have risen in recent years due to increased utilisation of existing coal plant with higher emissions per unit of output.

Emissions from public electricity and heat production - explanatory indicators (ENER 009) (ENER 009) - Assessment published Jan 2011: Between 1990 and 2007, EEA32 emissions of sulphur dioxide (SO 2 ) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) from public electricity and heat production fell despite a 32% increase in the amount of electricity and heat produced. Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions increased by 0.8% from the 1990 baseline, as a result of fuel switching and efficiency improvements. SO 2 emissions fell by 62%, due mainly to abatement techniques, use of low-sulphur fuels, and fossil fuel switching. NOx emissions fell by 39%, primarily due to abatement techniques. Some emissions have risen in recent years due to increased utilisation of existing coal plant with higher emissions per unit of output.
