Cyprus Energy Regulatory Authority Annual Report 2021

84 Cyprus Energy Regulatory Authority Environmental Indicators in relation to total annual conventional electricity generation Given Cyprus' high dependence on electricity generation by conventional plants, its air quality is significantly impacted. To quantify these impacts, the environmental indicator that is associated with the annual emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) and atmospheric emissions, and in particular carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and airborne particles (AP), from the largescale conventional electricity generation sector in the Republic of Cyprus. The annual variation of the CO2 emission index during the reporting period is presented in Figure 19. Year CO2 emmisions per unit of energy generation (g/kWh) Figure 19 - Annual variation of the environmental indicator of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from conventional large-scale electricity generation plants (g/kWh)
