Emissions of greenhouse gases
Lower greenhouse gas emissions in 2011
The domestic Norwegian greenhouse gas emissions in 2011 amounted to 52.7 million tonnes of CO<sub>2</sub> equivalents. This is 2.3 per cent less than in 2010. Lower emissions from heating and oil and gas extraction have contributed most to the decline.

Sulphur dioxide emissions
Historically low sulphur dioxide emissions
Norwegian sulphur dioxide emissions were reduced by 6 per cent from 2006 to 2007, resulting in the lowest emission figures in modern time. The decrease was mainly due to reduced emissions from stationary combustion, but emissions from industrial processes were also reduced.
