Statement by Nikos Mantzaris to Gas Matters.
The annual analysis by The Green Tank shows that compared to 2005, Greece recorded a 57.1% reduction in emissions from all installations in the sectors of electricity and heat generation and energy-intensive industry covered by the ETS, ranking 6th in the EU-27 and 12 places higher than the EU-27 average (-37.9%).
Zero Russian gas imports to Greece in May for the second time in 2023. The lowest gas consumption compared to the same month of the previous five years was recorded, resulting from the decrease of gas use in electricity production, while the cumulative decrease for the first five months of 2023 was 24.3%.
