Emission Reduction Plan

Spain has developed a series of framework plans to reduce its GHG emissions, with clear short, medium, and long-term goals. These plans are key to guiding climate action in sectors such as energy, transport, industry, and agriculture.

Key plans and strategies:

• National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan (PNIEC) 2021-2030:
  Sets targets for 2030, such as:
• 32% emissions reduction compared to 1990.
• 48% renewable energy in final energy consumption.
• 81% renewable electricity generation.
• 43% improvement in energy efficiency.
• Climate Change and Energy Transition Law (2021):
  Legal framework that requires:
• Achieving climate neutrality by 2050.
• A 100% renewable electricity system.
• Banning new hydrocarbon exploration.
• Establishing low emission zones in cities with more than 50,000 inhabitants.
• Long-term Decarbonization Strategy:
  Roadmap to reduce emissions by 90% by 2050 compared to 1990, achieving net-zero emissions.
  
  

Other initiatives:

• Carbon Footprint Register:
  Allows Spanish organizations to register their efforts in calculating, reducing, and offsetting emissions.
• National Emission Reduction Plan for Large Installations (PNRE-GIC):
  Focused on reducing pollutants such as NOx, SO₂, and particulates in large industries.
  
  

At airCO2, we help companies design their own emission reduction plan, aligned with existing regulatory frameworks and science-based methodologies.
