How this chart was made
- The figures are Statistics Norway's own, from table 13932: total greenhouse gas emissions, in CO2 equivalents by the method of the Paris Agreement (AR5). We have not calculated them.
- The only thing we calculated is the share in the headline: the largest source's emissions divided by the total.
- The figures cover Norwegian economic activity, and Statistics Norway's note says they include ocean transport and international air transport. That is not the same as emissions within Norway's borders.
- The industries are Statistics Norway's ten main groups. The sum of the parts may differ slightly from the total because of rounding.
Statistics Norway's notes on the table
- Due to rounding error, the total may not match the sum of subgroups.
- Includes ocean transport and international air transport.
- The table contains CO2 equivalents (GWP-values) according to AR5, the IPCCs Fifth Assessment Report, which are used in the Paris Agreement.
- Road traffic was updated in the November 2026 publication. The change affects total emissions and emissions from road traffic for the time series from 1990 onwards.
