Environment

Aviation CO₂ in the national greenhouse gas inventory

Official inventory reported to the UN climate convention (UNFCCC), same IPCC rules for every country: domestic aviation (1.A.3.a) counts in the national total; international aviation (bunker fuel sold for outbound international flights) is a memo item outside it.

In 2024, domestic aviation in Italy emitted 2,419 thousand tonnes of CO₂, and fuel sold for international flights another 12,877 thousand tonnes, according to the national inventory submitted to the UNFCCC.

Emitted inside this country's airspace, overflights included

In December 2024, aircraft emitted 8,556 tonnes of nitrogen oxides (NOₓ) inside the airspace of Italy, including flights that only crossed it; 125 tonnes of that came from taxiing on the ground, according to EUROCONTROL's Advanced Emissions Model.
