D4.4 Transportation EmissionsFinland's total transportation generated carbon emissions total about20%. Along with energy consumption, emissions have increased 15% since1997. Passenger cars are the largest factor, accounting for around half of alltransportation-based carbon emissions.The Ministry of Transport and Communications has made carbonemission reductions a central policy focus for the near and long terms.Much is to be done to achieve substantial emissions reductions. Currently,the Finnish fleet averages 80 g/km of CO2 emissions, a level above the existingEU average of 165 g/km, and far above the EU 2012 target of 120 g/km.Million tonne-km45 00040 00035 00030 00025 000Water TransportRailway TransportRoad Transport20 00015 00010 0005 0000|1990|1992|1994|1996|1998|2000|2002|2004|2006|2008SourceStatisticsFinlandTon-kilometres in Domestic Goods Transport 1990-2008247
