Study
Greenhouse gas emissions (industry and household): December 2020 quarter (experimental release)
en-NZStats NZ has developed new experimental quarterly estimates of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, to provide more timely data on New Zealand’s production-based emissions. This is done within the System of Environmental-Economic Accounting (SEEA) framework in order to track emissions in relation to economic activity.
This initial experimental release includes data up to and including the December 2020 quarter. Quarterly emissions data allows for a more detailed understanding of the timing and impact of events such as COVID-19 lockdowns, which annual data can obscure.
Estimates use New Zealand greenhouse gas inventory data as released April 2020 (2018 data). An update to the inventory will be released on 13 April 2021 (for data to 2019) and this will be incorporated into the next quarterly release.
