Greenhouse gas emissions under the Effort Sharing Legislation, 2005-2024

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.

Comparison of downstream market-based policies to reduce agricultural emissions

This report compares three downstream policy options to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the EU agrifood sector, all of which require regulated entities to cut farm-level emissions embedded in the products they handle or sell. It evaluates their design, efficiency, costs, and carbon leakage risks, highlighting key trade-offs. Retailer-level systems cover more emissions but are complex and costly, while processor-level options are either simpler to administer or more cost-efficient when trading is included. Carbon leakage is a concern across all options, though its magnitude remains uncertain. The report concludes by outlining how these policies could evolve or be sequenced over time.

Energieforschungsplan EVUPLAN, Vorschläge zur Energiekennzeichnung für Strom, Gas, Wasserstoff, Wärme und Kälte als Praxisvorbild für eine europäische Lösung

Das Projekt soll Vorschläge für eine Energiekennzeichnung in Europa sammeln, entwerfen und bewerten und so eine Diskussionsgrundlage für politische Entscheidungsträger*innen schaffen. Aus welcher Energiequelle die eingesetzte Energie stammt, ist neben der Transparenz für Haushaltskunden über die Umweltwirkung ihres Energiekonsums unter anderem für den Emissionsbericht von Unternehmen und öffentlichen Einrichtungen relevant. Eine standardisierte und verpflichtende Energiekennzeichnung gibt es in Europa bisher im Bereich Strom. Eine standardisierte Kennzeichnung für die Energieträger Gas, H2, Wärme und Kälte gibt es bislang nicht. Die hier entwickelten Konzepte einer Energiekennzeichnung sollen sowohl zwischen den Mitgliedsstaaten als auch zwischen Energieträgern einheitlich sein. Es soll ein Analyserahmen entwickelt werden, mit dem sich der Nutzen von Energiekennzeichnung für verschiedene gesellschaftliche Gruppen sowie gesamtgesellschaftlich identifizieren lässt. Die aktuelle Stromkennzeichnung in Europa, in diesem Projekt entwickelte Konzepte sowie Konzepte für Energiekennzeichnung aus der Literatur sollen mit dem Analyserahmen bewertet werden.

Estimated effects of increased RES consumption since 2005 on fossil fuels and GHG emissions

Directive 2009/28/EC on the promotion and use of energy from renewable sources commits the EU to achieving a 20 % share of renewable energy sources (RES) in its gross final energy consumption by 2020 and a 10 % share of renewable energy in transport energy consumption by the same year. Article 22 of the directive requires Member States to report on national progress in the promotion and use of energy from renewable sources, biennially, starting with 31 December 2011. It specifies that the national reports shall contain, inter alia, the estimated net GHG emission savings due to the use of energy from renewable sources. Information regarding the specific methodologies used by the countries for producing the above estimates of net GHG emission savings is not always available. To that end, the EEA and its European Topic Centre for Air Pollution and Climate Change Mitigation (ETC/ACM) produce each year a consistent set of estimated co-benefits, at the Member State and EU level, concerning the impact on fossil fuels and GHG emissions due to the increase in RES consumption since 2005. For 2017, these estimated co-benefits are based on the EEA 2017 RES share proxies and the EEA 2017 proxies on primary and final energy consumption.
