Pollutant emissions in Portugal fall by 10% in 2020 compared to the previous year – ZERO – Atualidade
In a statement, ZERO refers to the “58 million tons of dioxide equivalent” released in 2020, representing a carbon reduction of around 10% (9.5%) compared to 2019, from 32.9% compared to 2020. to 2005, and 1.6% compared to 1990, defined as a basis for the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement.
“The total value of losses considering 5 million tons of CO2 equivalent forests (CO2), which represents a reduction of 8.9% compared to the previous one, a reduction of 32.9% from 2005 and a reduction of 15% compared to to 2019, being the lowest value of net liquids in Portugal since 1990”, the statement said.
ZERO still a sector with “A very positive” in terms of prominence, with agriculture being an exception, the only sector in 2020 with increased protection compared to 2019.
“The forest sector has presented a large withdrawal capacity in Portugal. The structural fires are still able to act substantially for a sender, however, are liquids. However, far from substantial carbon sequestration for one year” of intent to target a substantial emitter, such as sequestration in a neutral environment by a substantial carbon emitter, between a neutral report through a substantial emitter, such as itself in the environment.
For ZERO, “it is evident that this huge reduction in emission levels was a reflection of the reduction in activity in preventive measures and unlimited order of the national response to the covid-19 pandemic”.
“However, a downward trend since 2017, including the withdrawal of production from polluting chosen coal-fired power plants that began to take place in the year 2020 and investments in renewables could be a downward trend over the next few years”, defend an environmental association.
AZ Absolute Anticipated War on Energy Measures “Portugal considers in the coming years and from the efficiency of energy buildings a neutral energy efficiency to energy and electric energy companies in line and greater energy efficiency in line and will guarantee in the coming years the response to the crisis in construction “Ukraine”.
