In mid‐December the European Environment Agency (EEA) published a technical report on “End‐user GHG emissions from energy”. The aim of this study was to improve the understanding of past greenhouse gas (GHG) emission trends in the energy sector from the demand or end‐user side, by developing a methodology to redistribute emissions from energy industries to the final users (by sector) of that energy… (More on www.eurelectric.org in Daily News – Password needed)

The European Union remains well on track to achieve its Kyoto Protocol target for reducing greenhouse gas emissions despite a 2.4% emissions increase in 2010, according to first estimates by the European Environment Agency (EEA). The 2010 increase follows a 7 % drop in 2009, largely due to the economic recession and the growth of renewable energy generation. According to the estimates, the EU‐15 is likely not only to meet its 8% emission reduction target under the Kyoto Protocol, but even to overachieve it… (More on www.eurelectric.org in Daily News – Password needed)

On 10 September the European Environmental Agency (EEA) published the estimates on 2009 EU greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, which have decreased in 2009 for the sixth consecutive year. Compared to the official emissions for 2008, the annual reduction is estimated to be about – 6.9% for both the EU-15 and the EU-27. GHG emissions in 2009 would thus be approximately 12.9 % below 1990 levels for the EU-15, and 17.3% below the 1990 level for the EU-27.

“Business as usual is not an option for the energy sector” said the Executive Director of the European Environment Agency (EEA), Prof. Jacqueline McGlade, as she launched the EEA’s 2008 Energy & Environment Report in the European Parliament on 20 November, adding that the move towards a low carbon society “isn’t happening fast enough to secure the future of our environment.” The report assesses key drivers, environmental pressures and some impacts from production and consumption of energy for the period 1990-2005, also taking into account the main goals of EU energy-environment policy.
