The large decline in emissions, achieved before the COVID-19 crisis, was mainly due to reduced coal use for power generation. Almost 80% of the net reduction in emissions achieved in 2019 took place in the heat and power sector, which is covered by the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS). from 2018 to 2019.
