CE Delft has calculated the emissions in the province of Groningen and all its municipalities for the year 1990, using the consumption-based approach. This work was carried out on behalf of RES Groningen.
For 1990, no official statistics are available that follow the consumption-based approach, even though this is the standard method for monitoring emissions. In our calculations, we relied on data available from the national emissions registry and estimated missing information using the CEGEM model. This includes, among other things, electricity consumption and livestock-related emissions.
The figure below shows the emissions in the province of Groningen in 1990. In total, emissions in the province amounted to 9,256 kilotonnes of CO₂ equivalent.
