Additional reporting obligations in the area of energy efficiency is a dataset under the National Energy and Climate Progress Reports (NECPRs), which is reported every second year (starting in 2023). The dataset provides additional information on energy efficiency and the role of buildings (public and nearly-zero energy buildings). The EEA collects and quality checks this data. This reporting obligation comes from the Governance Regulation 2018/1999, Implementing Regulation 2022/2299 (Annex XVII).
Progress to targets for energy efficiency is a dataset under the National Energy and Climate Progress Reports (NECPRs), which is reported every second year (starting in 2023) by EU Member States. The dataset provides information regarding Member State's energy efficiency contributions and progress in achieving them. The EEA collects and quality checks this data. The dataset links to data from Eurostat regarding Primary Energy Consumption (PEC) and Final Energy Consumption (FEC) in the period of 2020-2030. This reporting obligation comes from the Governance Regulation 2018/1999, Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/2299 (Annex IV).
The Governance of the Energy Union and Climate Action ((EU) 2018/1999) requires Member States to report national projections of anthropogenic GHG emissions. Every two years, each EU Member State shall report GHG projections in a ‘with existing measures’ scenario for the years 2020, 2025, 2030, 2035, 2040, 2045 and 2050 by gas (or group of gases) and by sector. National projections shall take into consideration any policies and measures adopted at Union level. The reported data are quality checked by the EEA and its European Topic Centre for Climate Change Mitigation and Energy (ETC/CME).
The Effort Sharing legislation covers greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from domestic transport, buildings, agriculture, small industry and waste, and accounts for more than 60 % of total EU GHG emissions. For the period 2013-2020, the Effort Sharing Decision established annual greenhouse gas emission targets for Member States, using global warming potentials (GWPs) from the Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and excluding NF3 emissions. For the period 2021-2030, emissions are regulated by the Effort Sharing Regulation (ESR), including NF3 emissions and with the use of the GWP values of the IPCC AR5. The EEA coordinates the Effort Sharing Legislation review of Member States’ greenhouse gas inventories, so that the European Commission can determine compliance with the annual Effort Sharing Legislation targets on the basis of accurate, reliable and verified emission data. Review reports and final Effort Sharing Legislation emissions are published by the European Commission. The Effort Sharing Legislation emissions for the period 2005–2012 and for the latest year ('Y-1') are estimated by EEA on the basis of national GHG inventory data and ETS emissions.
EU Member States annually report information on the volumes, energy content and life cycle GHG emissions of fuels used in road transport and non-road mobile machinery, as well as the quality of automotive petrol and diesel, in line with their obligations under the Fuel Quality Directive 98/70/EC, Articles 7a and 8.
This dataset provides data on how much financial, capacity building and technology support the EU Member States and other countries have either planned, committed, or provided to developing countries in relation to climate change mitigation or adaptation. The dataset holds further details on the provided support, e.g., the recipient of support, the financial instrument, the funding source, the concrete projects which benefited or the targeted sector. The Member States submit their data to the European Environment Agency (EEA) via the online platform Reportnet 3. Reporting is mandatory for EU Member States. Some information is only mandatory to report if the data is available. The data is then quality checked by DG CLIMA at the European Commission. DG CLIMA also performs aggregation of the data and combines them with other data sources (European Investment Bank, European Commission). This data is being collected under Article 19 of the Governance Regulation 2018/1999. The Regulation aims to help the EU meet its 2030 climate and energy targets by setting common rules for planning, reporting and monitoring. The Regulation also ensures that EU planning and reporting are synchronised with the ambition cycles under the Paris Agreement. Within the data download, there is an additional document providing detailed statistical metadata information on this dataset.
Progress to targets for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and removals is a dataset under the National Energy and Climate Progress Reports (NECPRs), which is reported every second year (starting in 2023) by EU Member States. The dataset provides information regarding Member State's GHG and removals targets and progress in achieving them. The EEA collects and quality checks this data. The dataset links to data from GHG inventories and projections (also collected by the EEA), as well as Annual Emission Allocations (AEAs). This reporting obligation comes from the Governance Regulation 2018/1999, Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/2299 (Annex I).
Additional reporting in the area of renewable energy is a dataset under the National Energy and Climate Progress Reports (NECPRs), which is reported every second year (starting in 2023) by EU Member States. The dataset provides information regarding Member States functioning system for guarantees of origin (GO), renewable energy surplus/deficits, biomass use and impacts, and renewable energy usage in buildings. The EEA collects and quality checks this data. The dataset links to data from Eurostat. This reporting obligation comes from the Governance Regulation 2018/1999, Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/2299 (Annex XVI).
This series of data provides information on how much financial, capacity building and technology support the EU Member States and other countries have either planned, committed, or provided to developing countries in relation to climate change mitigation or adaptation. The datasets holds further details on the provided support, e.g., the recipient of support, the financial instrument, the funding source, the concrete projects which benefited or the targeted sector. These datasets are being collected under Article 19 of the Governance Regulation 2018/1999. The Regulation aims to help the EU meet its 2030 climate and energy targets by setting common rules for planning, reporting and monitoring. The Regulation also ensures that EU planning and reporting are synchronised with the ambition cycles under the Paris Agreement.
The Governance of the Energy Union and Climate Action ((EU) 2018/1999) requires Member States to report national projections of anthropogenic GHG emissions. Every two years, it is mandatory for EU Member States to report their GHG projections by gas (or group of gases) and by sector. On non-mandatory years, Member States are to report if there have been significant changes to their data. National projections shall take into consideration any policies and measures adopted at Union level. The reported data are quality checked by the EEA and its European Topic Centre for Climate Change Mitigation and Energy (ETC/CME). The 2024 dataset contains data up to year 2050.
