CO2 Fuel Combustion/CO2 Emissions
According to the NECP, North Macedonia aims to cut its GHG emissions by 82% by 2030 (compared to 1990), which corresponds to a 78% cut compared to a BAU scenario. GHG emissions should be cut by 66% in the energy sector, by 45% in industry, 29% in agriculture, 95% in forest and land use, and 21% in the waste sector.
North Macedonia's NDC aims to cut CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion by 30% to 36% by 2030 compared to a BAU scenario; this would limit the growth in CO2 emissions to a range of 20-31% compared to 1990.
