Greenhouse gases (GHG) emission in atmosphere
The main source of GHGs emission is the energy sector
The most significant among the key emission sources in Macedonia is the energy transformation sector, where the total emission actually originates from thermal power plants based on lignite.
Total CO2-eq emissions in Macedonia in the period 1990-2002 range from 11.9 to 14.4 Mt CO2-eq .
Emissions in 2000 equaled 14.318 kt CO2-eq or 7.16 t CO2-eq per inhabitant.
GHGs emission for the period 1990-2002 had decreasing trend, namely by 35% in industrial processes sector and by 22% in agriculture, while it was variable in LUCF sector and unchanged in the waste sector.
Growth in GHGs emission has been noted only in energy sector (by 6%).
Falling trend in industrial processes and agriculture sectors is due to reduced activities of the national economy during the reporting period.
