Patenting activity for climate-energy related technologies, EU-27: The graph descirbes the time trend of the number of patents applications (by priority date) at EPO (European Patent Office), by total number and the number in single classes of technologies (pollution and waste; renewable energies; vehicle emissions and fuel economy; energy efficiency).

European average air temperature anomalies (1850 to 2011) in °C over land areas only: The sources of the original data: 1) Black line - HadCRUT3 from the UK Met Office Hadley Centre and University of East Anglia Climate Research Unit, baseline period 1850-1899 (Brohan et al., 2006) with the grey area representing the 95% confidence range, 2) Red line – MLOST from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Climatic Data Centre, baseline period 1880-1899 (Smith et al., 2008), and 3) Blue line - GISSTemp from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Goddard Institute for Space Studies, baseline period 1880-1899 (Hansen et al., 2010). Upper graph shows anomalies and lower graph shows decadal average anomalies for the same datasets. Europe is defined as the area between 35° to 70° North and -25° to 30° East, plus Turkey (35° to 40° North and 30° to 45° East).

Patenting activity for environment related technologies (SCP 041) - Assessment DRAFT created Apr 2012: The indicator addresses the second part of the policy question. The total number of patents applications in environmental technologies has been increasing steadily in EU-27 countries, as has their share in total patents registered in the EU. Total environment-related technology patents increased by 48% between 1999 and 2008, while their share in total patents increased from 6.6% to 8.6% over the same period. Increases have been dominated by a six-fold increase in patent applications in the area of renewable energy technologies. Patents in climate change mitigation and in combustion technologies with impact mitigation potential also saw rapid growth. However, these started from a much lower level and have not had a great influence on overall growth.

Projected relative change of annual maximum daily mean wind speed between 1961-2000 and 2050 using different models: Data are calculated for 10 m height using the + 2 oC scenario for 2050 (IPCC-SRES A1B emission scenarios) and the reference climate (1961-2000) from three similar models (left) and one different model, MIROCHi (right).
