Emissions in Faroe Islands rose 4.8 percent in 2025

Emissions in the Faroe Islands were 4.8 percent higher in 2025 than the previous year, according to the Environment Agency (Umhvørvisstovan). The figures exclude emissions from foreign fishing vessels; including them would show an even larger increase.

In 2024, oil consumption decreased compared to 2023, but that positive trend did not continue into 2025, the agency stated. Emissions rose in some categories while falling in others during 2025.
