utsläppens
Utsläppens is a Swedish term referring to the release of substances into the environment, most often air emissions from human activity. In environmental policy and science, utsläppens are quantified to assess their contribution to climate change, air quality, and health, and to guide regulation and mitigation efforts. The term encompasses both greenhouse gas emissions that trap heat in the atmosphere and air pollutants that affect air quality.
Greenhouse gas emissions include carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O) and fluorinated gases. These
Measurement and reporting of utsläppens are typically organized through national emission inventories, international frameworks such as
Major sources of emissions include energy production (coal, oil, gas), transportation (cars, trucks, aviation, shipping), industry
Mitigation aims to reduce utsläppens through electrification, energy efficiency, cleaner fuels, renewable energy, and, where appropriate,
