Total greenhouse gas emissions in Korea increased 3.5 percent year-on-year in 2021 to 679.6 million tons, according to the Ministry of Environment on Tuesday.
화요일 환경부에 따르면 지난해 국내 온실가스 배출량은 전년 대비 3.5% 증가한 6억 7960만톤으로 나타났다.


The increase stemmed from economic recovery from the COVID-driven recession that began in 2020, which boosted the country's overall industrial output, the National Center for Greenhouse Gas Inventory and Research (GIR) under the ministry said. The authority's report was based on comprehensive records of energy resources used for power generation, exports and imports, as well as livestock management in 2021.
환경부 소속 온실가스종합정보센터(GIR)는 이러한 증가가 2020년 시작된 코로나19발 불황으로부터 경기를 회복하는 과정에서 기인한다고 전했다. 온실가스센터 보고서는 에너지통계월보, 수출입통계 및 가축동향조사 등 종합적인 자료를 기반으로 작성되었다.


The GIR, citing the International Energy Agency's records of global carbon dioxide emissions in 2021, said the increase rate of Korea's greenhouse gas emissions was lower than the global average of 5.7 percent as well as that of other advanced countries ― the United States (6.2 percent), the European Union (7 percent) and China (4.8 percent).
온실가스센터는 2021년 국제 에너지 기구의 세계 이산화탄소 배출량을 거론하며 국내 배출량은 전세계 평균인 5.7% 및 주요국 증가율 – 미국 (6.2%), 유럽연합 (7%), 중국 (4.8%) – 보다 낮은 수준이라고 전했다.


Almost 87 percent of the country's greenhouse gas emissions in 2021 came from the energy sector, which accounted for 590 million tons.
2021년 분야별 온실가스 배출량으로는 에너지 분야가 5억 9000만톤으로 약 87%를 차지했다.


Greenhouse gas emissions in the manufacturing industry, including chemical and steel makers, increased by 12.7 million tons from the previous year. In the power generation sector, greenhouse gas emission increased by 4 million tons from 2020.
화학, 철강을 비롯한 제조업 부문 온실가스 배출량은 1270만톤으로 작년에 비해 증가했다. 발전 부문 온실가스 배출량은 2020년에 비해 400만톤 증가했다.


In terms of GDP, 2021 saw 356 tons of greenhouse gas emissions per 1 billion won ($770,000). The annual figure continuously declined from 2011, the GIR said. In 2021, GDP increased 4 percent year-on-year while greenhouse gas emissions increased 3.5 percent.
국내총생산(GDP)면에서 지난해 온실가스 배출량은 10억원(770,000달러)당 356톤이다. 온실가스센터는 2011년 이후 지속적으로 감소하는 추세라고 밝혔다. 2021년 GDP는 전년 대비 4% 증가한 반면 온실가스 배출량은 3.5% 증가했다.


Greenhouse gas emissions in 2021 fell 6.5 percent from 2018 when the figure peaked at 727 million tons in the country.국내 온실가스 배출량 7억 2700만톤으로 정점을 기록한 2018년 이후 2021년 온실가스 배출량은 6.5% 감소했다.
