The report “GHG projections and assessment of policies and measures in Austria” presents information on projections, policies and measures according to the reporting obligations as defined in Decision 280/2004/EC. It includes projections of the greenhouse gases (GHGs) CO2, CH4, N2O, HFC, PFC and SF6 for the years 2010, 2015 and 2020 and describes policies and measures which limit and/or reduce greenhouse gas emissions by sources. The results include two different scenarios: the scenario “with measures” takes into account climate change mitigation measures that were implemented under the Austrian Climate Strategies 2002 and 2007 before 8th August 2008. The scenario “with additional measures” includes also planned policies and measures. The economic scenarios for the emission projections do not reflect recent economic developments.
