Five renovation solutions give the Utrecht built environment a combined reduction potential of 770 kton CO₂-eq per year by 2030: heat pumps (378 kton), insulation (250 kton), smart thermostats (67 kton), wastewater heat recovery (39 kton) and the recirculating shower (38 kton).

The built environment is the second climate sector of the province of Utrecht at 1.9 Mton CO₂-eq per year.

Green gas can deliver the province of Utrecht up to 300 kton CO₂-eq of reduction per year by 2030.

Onshore wind turbines can deliver the province of Utrecht a reduction of 160 kton CO₂-eq per year by 2030, based on the number of turbines in the three RES-region bids at a capacity of 6 MW per turbine.

Solar parks are the largest electricity solution for the province of Utrecht at 330 kton CO₂-eq per year.

Rooftop solar panels can deliver the province of Utrecht an emission reduction of 240 kton CO₂-eq per year by 2030.

Four calculated solutions give the Utrecht electricity sector a combined reduction potential of 1,030 kton CO₂-eq per year by 2030: solar parks (330 kton), green gas (300 kton), rooftop solar (240 kton) and onshore wind (160 kton).

The electricity sector emits 890 kton CO₂-eq per year in the province of Utrecht.

Exhaust emissions from road traffic account for 2.86 Mton CO₂-eq per year, by far the largest single emission source in the province of Utrecht.

Of the five climate sectors, mobility emits the most in the province of Utrecht: 3.16 Mton CO₂-eq per year.
