Italy in Line with Kyoto: a Study by the SDF
25 May 2011
COVER_KYOTO_PROTOCOLA study by the Sustainable Development Foundation (SDF) affirms that in 2010, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Italy have decreased by 6.8% in respect to those in 1990.

In this study the SDF also considered the GHG emissions reduction from forest absorption and certificates emerging from Kyoto Mechanisms.
The Kyoto Protocol foresees a reduction of up to an average of 6.5% for our country between 2008 and 2012, therefore, we can confirm that Italy is in line with the Protocol goals.
In 2010 GHG emissions grew by 0.8% compared to 2009, but where energy consumption also grew by 3.6%. It is possible to explain this phenomenon by the increase in the use of renewable energy instead of fossil fuels.

In particular, the "decarbonization" of the electricity production has been ongoing for several years thanks to technological innovation, the fuel switch and the use of renewable energy. In 2010, the electricity consumption increased up to 6 TWh, but emissions decreased thanks to renewable energy.
Thermal power from fossil fuel has increased by 0.7%, but GHG emissions have not increased as more natural gas was used instead of oil and coal.
In 1990, 0.59 t of CO2 per MWh were produced, in 2010 the value can be listed as 0.40 t CO2/MWh, reducing the CO2 emissions by 30%.
