CO₂ Emissions from Fuel Combustion in Austria

This website presents current CO₂ emissions from the combustion of liquid and gaseous fuels within the energy sector. The calculations use monthly fuel combustion statistics and are aligned with the CO₂ emissions from fuel combustion published in Austria's National Inventory Document.

CO₂ emissions from three categories are presented: Natural Gas, Oil Products and International Aviation.

Emissions from natural gas are calculated from gas consumption data published by E-Control. The data is modified by subtracting gas used for non-energy purposes.

Emissions from oil products are calculated from monthly consumption data published by Eurostat. The fuel types gasoil and dieseloil, fuel oil, liquified petroleum gas (LPG), gasoline and kerosene are included. Note that most of the kerosene is used for international aviation. To include missing consumption activities in the raw data, constant monthly CO₂ emissions of 240 kilotonnes (kt) are added.

CO₂ emissions from international aviation are calculated as a share of 98.83% of kerosene consumption published in the Eurostat fuel consumption dataset. This is the average share of international aviation fuel use in the years 2022 to 2024.

The predictions do not cover all of Austria's greenhouse gas emissions. The share of emissions included in recent years can be seen in the figure on the right.

The selected CO₂ emissions from Oil and Gas in the energy sector covered more than 58% of total emissions in 2024.

A complete documentation of the methodology is available in the bachelor thesis of Elijah Stängl.
