Total emissions (excluding emissions from land use, land use change and forestry) amounted to 98.6 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent in 2023. The majority are carbon dioxide emissions (CO2, 85.8%). Next come emissions of methane (CH4, 7.7%), nitrous oxide (N2O, 4.4%) and fluorinated gases.
Changing the “fuel” of cattle and improving their “engine” so that they emit less greenhouse gases is possible
The transport sector represents around a quarter (24.9%) of greenhouse gas emissions in Belgium and these emissions have increased by 17% since 1990. It is followed by the energy sector (15.9%) and industrial processes (15.5%), whose emissions, on the other hand, have been decreasing since the reference year.
