Changes in GHG emissions (1995-2005) and material use (2000-2005) caused by national consumption and contributing factors in selected EU countries: This figure identifies changes in direct and indirect GHG emissions and material use caused by total national consumption in EU countries with available data for carrying out the calculations. The various effects of 3 contributing factors to these trends are shown: real growth in consumption expenditure (i.e. in fixed prices), reductions in the emissions/material use per Euro within individual product chains of final NACE product groups. Pressures caused by national consumption include both direct and indirect pressures. Direct pressures are those released during consumption of goods and services i.e. emissions to air from cars and from burning fuels in households for heating, cooking etc. Indirect pressures caused by consumption comprise all pressures released along the production chains of consumed goods. Includes goods produced domestically and imported goods. 2 environmental pressure are included – greenhouse gas emissions and material consumption (based on DMI but including DMI imported in imports).

Key differences between equal income low GHG and high GHG emitting households in Switzerland: The figure is showing the variation in green house gas emissions of households with equal income along with variation in contributing factors. Households are grouped in deciles 1-10 (low – high emissions). The 10 % of households with highest GHG emissions (group 10) also has the highest car use, the highest share of single family housing, the most m2 of floor space per person and have the lowest use of green heating (district heating or renewables).

Trends in heating energy consumption and energy efficiency for housing, EU-27: Trends in relative and absolute energy consumption for space heating show how increasing per person housing space, and increasing numbers of households are offsetting gains in energy efficiency in buildings in Europe

Trends in energy efficiency and ownership rates of household appliances and electricity consumption in households, EU-27: The figure shows trends in energy efficiency of appliances (dishwasher, TV, washing machine) compared to ownership numbers of these appliances and total electricity consumption for lighting and appliances per dwelling. The figure illustrates that increasing ownership of appliances is more than offsetting gains from energy efficiency improvements in individual appliances.

Average annual growth rates for passenger transport, EU-27, 1995-2007: The Figure is showing average annual growth rates of different means of transport within the EU-27 in the period between 1995-2007. (Actual yearly growth rates are of course differing from the averages used in Fig 6.1.) The values for Air and Sea travel only include domestic and Intra-EU-27 transport. Most numbers are based on estimates and data for Air and Sea are provisional estimates.
