Greenhouse gas emissions decreased in 10 out of 16
regions between 2019 and 2021, with Taranaki showing the
biggest drop in emissions during this period, Stats NZ said
today.
Taranaki experienced the largest decrease in
total greenhouse gas emissions, measured in carbon dioxide
equivalents (CO2-e), between 2019 (pre-COVID) and 2021, down
1,130 kilotonnes (18 percent), followed by Auckland, down
1,049 kilotonnes (9.7 percent), and Northland, down 781
kilotonnes (16 percent).
“The decrease in emissions
in Taranaki was largely due to a decrease in gas being used
for electricity generation, followed by decreases in both
manufacturing and mining,” environmental-economic accounts
manager Stephen Oakley said.
