The Regulation (EU) No 2019/631 requires Countries to record information for each new passenger car registered in its territory. Every year, each Member State shall submit to the Commission all the information related to their new registrations. In particular, the following details are required for each new passenger car registered: manufacturer name, type approval number, type, variant, version, make and commercial name, specific emissions of CO2 (NEDC and WLTP protocols), masses of the vehicle, wheel base, track width, engine capacity and power, fuel type and mode, eco-innovations and electricity consumption. Data for EU-27 and UK are reported in the main database. Since 2018 Iceland is also included in the database. Since 2019 Norway is also included in the database. For downloading the data in the elastic data viewer please use Edge, Chrome, Firefox or Safari.
The Regulation (EU) No 2019/631 (and before that Regulation (EU) No 510/2011) requires Member States to record information for each new van registered in its territory. Every year, each Member State shall submit to the Commission all the information related to their new registrations. In particular, the following details are required for each new van registered: manufacturer name, type approval number, type, variant, version, make and commercial name, specific emissions of CO2, mass of the vehicle, wheel base, track width, fuel type and fuel mode. Additional information, such as engine power and engine capacity were also submitted. Data for EU27, Norway, Iceland, and United Kingdom are reported in the main database. Since 2018 Iceland and since 2019 Norway are also included in the database.
This database contains a number of integrated national climate and energy policies and measures (PaM) implemented or planned by European countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and achieve climate and energy targets. This data is reported in accordance with the Governance Regulation (2018/1999) Articles 17 and 18. Most of these PaMs have been additionally reported to the European Commission via National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs) or to the United Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Biennial Transparency Reports (BTR). Only Estonia, Ireland, Sweden updated their data in 2024. This dataset consists of the updated data for these countries and then the latest reported data from the other EU27 countries in 2023. This dataset only includes core reporting elements from Implementing Regulation 2020/1208 Annex XXIV and Implementing Regulation 2022/2299 Annex IX and not all additional energy related reported information as normally required under the National Energy and Climate Progress Reporting (NECPR) requirements - as this data is only mandated on a biennial basis.
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).

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 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.
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).
