Data about the EU emission trading system (ETS). The EU ETS data viewer provides aggregated data on emissions and allowances, by country, sector and year. The data mainly comes from the European Commission’s Union Registry website (previously EU Transaction Log, EUTL). Additional information on auctioning and scope corrections is included.
The EU formally adopted an update of the Renewable Energy Directive (EU) 2018/2001 in October 2023 that, among other measures, increases the binding 2030 target from 32% to 42.5%, with the aim of achieving 45%. Since early access to the most recent information on the growth of RES is relevant for all stakeholders, the EEA and its European Topic Centre for Climate Change Mitigation and Energy (ETC/CME) produce each year a set of early estimates concerning the RES shares achieved by the countries and the EU as a whole in the previous year. The current data set concerns the EEA 2023 RES share proxies. The cut-off date for most data sources incorporated in the calculation of the approximated RES shares is 31 August of the publication year.
The Energy Efficiency Directive 2012/27/EU (EED) and amending directive 2018/2002/EU establish a common framework for the promotion of energy efficiency within the Union in order to ensure the achievement of the Union’s target of 20 % reduction in energy consumption by 2020 and 32 % by 2030, and to pave the way for further energy efficiency improvements beyond that date. It also calls on Member States to set their own indicative national energy efficiency targets. Since early access to the most recent information on energy consumption is relevant for all stakeholders, the EEA and its European Topic Centre for Climate Change Mitigation and Energy (ETC/CME) produce each year a set of early estimates concerning the consumption of primary and final energy in the previous year, across the EU as a whole and in each Member State. These estimates are compatible with the scope of the energy efficiency targets for 2020 and 2030, and they correspond to the indicator codes PEC2020-2030 and FEC2020-2030 from Eurostat.
Regulation (EU) 2018/956 requires EU Member States and manufacturers to report data related to heavy-duty vehicles. Member States report trucks, buses and trailers registered in their territory. Manufacturers report trucks of specific types that are subject to certification requirements. The reporting periods are annual and run from 1st July to 30 June the following year. One exception was the first reporting which covered 1st January 2019 to 30 June 2020.
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.
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.
The most recent recast of the EU Renewable Energy Directive (EU/2023/2413) sets a legally binding, minimum 42.5% target for the share of renewable energy sources (RES) in the EU's gross final energy consumption by 2030, with an aspirational goal of reaching 45%. For transport, it sets a minimum 29% RES share by 2030, or a minimum 14.5% reduction in the greenhouse gas emission intensity of transport by 2030, with specific sub-mandates for advanced biofuels and renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBOs).

The recast Energy Efficiency Directive (EU) 2023/1791 sets a binding target for 2030 of 763 million tonnes of oil equivalent (Mtoe) for final energy consumption (FEC), and an indicative target of 992.5Mtoe for primary energy consumption (PEC). Since early access to the most recent information on energy consumption is relevant for all stakeholders, the EEA and its European Topic Centre for Climate Change Mitigation and Energy (ETC/CME) produce each year a set of early estimates concerning the consumption of primary and final energy in the previous year, across the EU as a whole and in each Member State. These estimates are compatible with the scope of the energy efficiency targets for 2020 and 2030, and they correspond to the indicator codes PEC2020-2030 and FEC2020-2030 from Eurostat. The current data set covers the EEA 2023 approximated data on primary and final energy consumption (PEC2020-2030; FEC2020-2030).
Data reported by companies on the production, import, export, destruction and feedstock use of fluorinated greenhouse gases in the European Union during the years 2007-2019. The primary data is synthesised and aggregated at EU level and used to assess the progress on HFC phase-down made under both EU legislation and the UN framework as part of the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol. The data also details the amount of F-gases supplied to various industrial applications.
