Energy-related emissions of acidifying substances (ENER 006) - Assessment published Apr 2012
-
Energy-related emissions account for only 2% of NH 3 emissions but 96% of NO x and 94% of SO 2 emissions in the EEA-32 in 2009. They fell by 17%, 13% and 21% respectively between 2005 and 2009 in EEA-32 countries. Since 1990, these energy related emissions declined by 40% and 78% for NO x and SO 2 respectively but increased by 88% for NH 3 in the EU-27 and declined by 37% (NO x ) and 74% (SO 2 ) and increased by 92% (NH 3 ) in EEA-32 member countries. However as noted earlier the percentage of energy related NH 3 emissions are insignificant compare do the non-energy related NH 3 emissions. Most of the total reduction in pollutants contributing to acid deposition since 1990 is accounted for by lower SO 2 emissions from the energy-producing sector and lower NO x emissions from the transport sector. The EU-27 is broadly on track to meet its overall targets set under the NEC Directive (NECD) [1] , however further reductions are needed to improve remaining local and transboundary air pollution issues, and for ensuring that individual countries meet emissions ceiling targets under the NECD and the UNECE Gothenburg Protocol.

Energy efficiency and energy consumption in industry (ENER 025) - Assessment published Apr 2012
-
Over the period 1990-2009, in EU-27 countries, energy efficiency in industry has improved by 30% at an annual average rate of 1.8% per year, with large differences among countries. Energy efficiency improvement has been realized in all industrial branches except textile. Over the period 2005-2009 energy efficiency improved by 1.5%/year with an important deterioration in 2009 due to the economic crisis.

Energy efficiency in transformation (ENER 011) - Assessment published Apr 2012
-
In 2009 only 71.6% of the total primary energy consumption in the EU-27 reached the end users. Transformation and distribution (T&D) losses decreased slightly since 1990, from 29.1% in 1990 to 28.4% in 2009. T&D losses were 28.6% in 2008. About 5% represented the energy-sector’s own consumption of energy.

The figure shows the variation of CO2 emission from transport, EU-27 level
CO2 represent around 99% of the sector’s greenhouse gas emissions. Emissions from international air transport are not included in countries’ emissions (UNFCCC methodology).

How to read the figures:
Left-top: % Share of fuel input (TJ) by type (liquid, solid, gaseous, biomass and other fuels) into 1A1a public electricity and heat production.
Left-bottom: Implied emission factor for each fuel above (tCO2 / TJ), taken from EEA (2009)
Right-top: Average efficiency of transformation in EU-27.
Numerator = 101109 Output from district heating plants + 101121 Output from public thermal power stations
Denominator = 101009 Input to district heating plants + 101021 Input to public thermal power stations
Right-bottom: % Share of CO2 emissions by fuel type (liquid, solid, gaseous, biomass and other fuels into 1A1a public electricity and heat production)
