The Bundesbank’s greenhouse gas emissions came in at around 13,676 tonnes of CO2 equivalents in 2021, which corresponds to a reduction of just over 52.3% compared with the 2013/14 base value (28,650 t). As in 2020, the restrictions on public life caused by the coronavirus pandemic resulted in reduced emissions in 2021 as well. This was because business travel were still very low and reductions were made in heat consumption.
