This is in connection with lower outdoor temperatures in Sweden during the first quarter of 2026 compared with the same quarter in 2025," writes Statistics Sweden in a press release.
Mineral extraction, i.e. mining, also increased emissions, while they decreased in the manufacturing industry - especially in the production of steel and metals.
Emissions in the transport sector were unchanged, while emissions from construction activities decreased slightly.
