Analysis
Netherlands recorded 53.67 million tonnes for annual co₂ emissions from gas in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 22.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from gas in Netherlands peaked at 94.17 million tonnes in 2010 and was at its lowest, 0 tonnes, in 1846.
That places Netherlands 34th out of 146 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
