CO2-targets

If you want to achieve a CO2-reduction of 50% or 55% in 2030 compared to your reference year, you can set your target in the Envirometer at a reduction of x% per year. In the table below you can read which reduction percentage per year you should choose to arrive at 50% or 55% in 2030, depending on your reference year. The closer your reference year is to 2030, the higher the required reduction percentage.

Target in 2030:	50% reduction	55% reduction
reference year	reduction/year	reduction/year
2015	-4,5%	-5,2%
2016	-4,8%	-5,5%
2017	-5,2%	-5,9%
2018	-5,6%	-6,4%
2019	-6,1%	-7,0%
2020	-6,7%	-7,6%
2021	-7,4%	-8,4%

So, for example, if you want to achieve a 55% CO2 reduction in 2030 and your first CO2 footprint has been made in 2020, you can set the target value of 7.6% per year (less is better) to arrive at a 50% reduction in 2030.

The graphs below show the calculation of the 50% / 55% reduction.
