Greenhouse gas emissions in Finland by Year, Emission category, Greenhouse gas and Information

Documentation of statistics . missing
- magnitude nil . missing
- magnitude nil Emissions are expressed as carbon dioxide equivalent, and negative figures are removals. Instant preliminary data (2025) are produced with less detailed methods than the actual inventory (the years 1990 to 2024). Therefore, data for 2025 are not presented in the table on the same level of detail as the data for the previous years. In the inventory, the climate warming potential of different greenhouse gases is translated into a common measure, i.e. carbon dioxide equivalent, using Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors. The source used for the factors are IPCC Assessment Reports (AR). Emissions data according to the abbreviation AR5 have been calculated using factors in accordance with the IPCC's Fifth Assessment Report (carbon dioxide 1, methane 28, nitrous oxide 265, F-gases 4 to 23,500). Emission category Based on the emission category according to the CRT (previously CRF) classification that is used in the reporting of greenhouse gases to the UNFCCC, the Paris Agreement and the EU. Some clarifications related to emission categories by sector:
Energy: International transport (1D) is not included in total emissions but is reported in the inventory as a memo item.
Energy: emissions from domestic road transportation have been reported summed up in category 1A3b for the years 1990-2016. The data for 2017-2024 have also been reported broken down into subcategories 1A3bi-iv.
Agriculture: Direct N2O-emissions from agricultural soils (3D1) include only N2O-emissions. Carbon stock changes, that is CO2-emissions or CO2-removals are reported in the land use, land use change and forestry sector (LULUCF).
Agriculture: Indirect N2O-emissions from agricultural soils (3D2) contain N2O-emissions from atmospheric deposition and nitrogen leaching and run-off originating from nitrogen inputs in the agriculture.
Land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF): Direct N2O-emissions in the category 4(iii) are estimated based on nitrogen mineralized in the decomposition of the soil organic matter when land use changes on mineral soils and soil carbon is lost. Indirect N2O-emissions in the same category contain N2O-emissions from nitrogen leaching originating from land-use change to cropland, grassland or settlements on mineral soils. Indirect N2O-emissions from atmospheric deposition and nitrogen leaching and run-off originating from nitrogen inputs to agricultural soils are reported in the agricultural sector under indirect N2O emissions from managed soils (3D2). Greenhouse gas Greenhouse gases reported in the greenhouse gas inventory are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O) and fluorinated greenhouse gases or F-gases (HFC compounds (hydrofluorocarbons), PFC compounds (perfluorocarbons), sulphur hexafluoride SF6, and nitrogen trifluoride NF3).
