Monitoring of the emission reduction target
Monitoring of the emission reduction target
Helsinki aims to reduce emissions by 85 per cent by 2030 from 1990 level. Helsinki’s emission reduction target applies to the city’s direct emissions, i.e. emissions generated within the city’s geographical boundary, but emission reduction actions are also targeted at indirect (so-called Scope 3) emissions, especially emissions from construction.
The charts below can also be read in plain text format.
Total emissions
Helsinki’s total direct emissions (kt CO2e) by sector in the years 1990 and 2000–2024 and the forecast for the years 2025–2030. The sectors are heating, which includes oil and electric heating, electricity consumption, transport and the other sector, which includes industrial and work machines, waste and agriculture.
The emissions from heating, specific emissions of heating and heat consumption
The emissions from heating (kt CO2e) in 1990 and 2000–2024 and forecast for 2025–2030. Specific emissions of heating (g CO2e/kWh) in 1990 and 2000–2024 and forecast for 2025–2030. Heat consumption (GWh) in 1990 and 2000–2024.
The emission from electricity consumption
The emissions from electricity consumption (kt CO2e) in 1990 and 2000–2023 and the forecast for 2024-2030.
The emissions from transport
The emissions from transport (kt CO2e) by sector in 1990 and 2000–2024 and forecast for 2030.
Ongoing actions and their progress
The table shows ongoing actions by category, their responsible parties and information on which sector the actions is aimed at. There are three categories:- Actions that reduce emissions: the action has a direct impact on the sectors selected as focal areas; moving forward, most new actions will be in this class.
- Required actions that facilitate emissions reduction: the action is a prerequisite for implementing the category 1 actions, even though the action itself does not involve a direct impact on the emissions reductions.
- Surveys to determine new emissions reduction actions: the actions require additional preparation or studies with the aim of preparing category 1 and 2 actions.
