Greenhouse gas footprint

This article contains background information for the following overview chart:

In the Results & Data > Visuals > Greenhouse gas footprint section you can find and download a summary of all greenhouse gas emissions. The summary is based on the energetic CO₂ emissions calculated by the ETM based on energy demand and supply, as well as the energetic other greenhouse gases, non-energetic CO₂ and non-energetic other greenhouse gases determined in the Emissions > Greenhouse gases section in the ETM.

This page shortly explains what falls under the different categories in every graph.

Overview greenhouse gas emissions

Category	Description
Indirect & Delayed emissions	Indirect emissions are CO2 emissions caused by the atmospheric oxidation of methane (CH4), carbon monoxide (CO) and Non-Methane Volatile Organic Compounds (NMVOC). These substances are often released during non-energetic processes such as the storage of manure, chemical processes or use of solvents. Due to the large number of causes, indirect emissions can originate in any sector (agriculture, industry, the built environment or other sectors). These emissions can be adjusted in the Greenhouse gas section. Delayed emissions are captured CO2 emissions that has been emitted at a later point in time. These emissions can be adjusted in the CCUS section.
Built environment	All emissions from the built environment shown in the seperate built environment graph.
Transport & Mobility	All emissions from transport & mobility shown in the seperate transport & mobility graph.
Industry & Energy	All emissions from industry & energy production shown in the seperate industry & energy graph.
Agriculture	All emissions from agriculture shown in the seperate agriculture graph.

Built environment

Category	Description
Other emissions	Energetic emissions of other greenhouse gases (non-CO2) in households and buildings, as well as energetic CO2 emissions from the ETM's 'Other' sector.
Appliances & lightning	Energetic CO2 emissions from lightning and appliances.
Cooking	Energetic CO2 emissions from cooking.
Hotwater	Energetic CO2 emissions from hot water use.
Heating & cooling	Energetic CO2 emissions from heating and cooling.

Industry & Energy

Category	Description
Other industry	All emissions (CO2 and other greenhouse gases, energetic and non-energetic) from other industrial sectors.
Paper industry	All emissions (CO2 and other greenhouse gases, energetic and non-energetic) from the paper industry.
Food industry	All emissions (CO2 and other greenhouse gases, energetic and non-energetic) from the food industry.
Metal industry	All emissions (CO2 and other greenhouse gases, energetic and non-energetic) from the metal industry.
Energy sector	All emissions (CO2 and other greenhouse gases, energetic and non-energetic) from the energy sector, such as the sector's own use of electricity. Note: CO2 emissions from energy production are assigned to the sectors in which this energy is used.
Waste management	Non-energetic CO2 & other GHG emissions from waste management.
Chemical industry	All emissions (CO2 and other greenhouse gases, energetic and non-energetic) from the chemical industry.

Transport & Mobility

Category	Description
Other emissions	Energetic emissions of other greenhouse gases (non-CO2) in the transport sector (e.g. from exhaust gases).
Public transport	Energetic CO2 emissions from trams, trains and buses.
Private transport	Energetic CO2 emissions from cars,motorcycles, mopeds and e-bikes.
Freight transport	Energetic CO2 emissions from ships, freight trains and trucks.
Domestic aviation	Energetic CO2 emissions from planes.

Agriculture

Category	Description
Soil cultivation	Non-energetic CO2 & other greenhouse gas emissions from soil cultivation.
Fermentation	Non-energetic other greenhouse gas emissions from (enteric) fermentation.
Manure	Non-energetic CO2 & other greenhouse gas emissions from manure from livestock.
Energy use	Energetic CO2 & other greenhouse gas emissions from energy use in agriculture, such as heating and machinery.
