This represents an increase of 0.6 per cent compared with the corresponding quarter of 2025. Over the same period, GDP at constant prices increased by 2.0 per cent, resulting in a 1.4 per cent decrease in emissions intensity. The increase was driven by the electricity, gas and heat supply; water supply, sewerage and waste management sector, where emissions rose by 10 per cent.
