Primary energy consumption by fuel (CSI 029/ENER 026) - Assessment published Apr 2012
-
Total gross inland energy consumption decreased by 1.3%/year since 2005 in EEA countries (-1.7%/year in EU-27); it increased however in non-EU EEA by 3%/year; an opposite trend was observed from 1990 to 2005 with an increase by 0.7%/year from 1990 to 2005 (0.6%/year for EU-27 and 2.4%/year for non-EU EEA). In 2009 the gross energy consumption decreased with the economic crisis by 5.1% in EEA countries, mainly in EU-27 (-5.5%/year compared to -1% in non-EU EEA countries)
Fossil fuels continue to dominate total gross energy consumption in EU-27, but their share is declining: from 83% in 1990 to 77% in 2009. The share of renewable energy sources more than doubled over the period, from 4.3% in 1990 to 9 % in 2009. The share of nuclear energy in total gross inland consumption increased slightly, to 13.6% in 2009 from 12.3 % in 1990.

Net Energy Import Dependency (ENER 012) - Assessment published Apr 2012
-
Total net imports (imports minus exports) of natural gas, solid fuels and oil (including petroleum products) as a share of primary energy consumption rose from 54.2 % in 2005 to 55.5% in 2009. The increased use of gas, primarily replacing domestic coal, has had a positive environmental benefit within the EU (for example via reduced emissions of greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions), but has also increased some risks associated with security of energy supply. In 2009, 11.7% of net imports were solid fuels, 59.8% were oil and 28.5% were gas.

Total Gross Inland Consumption by Fuel (CSI 029/ENER 026) - Assessment DRAFT created Dec 2012
-
In 2010, in the EU-27, gross inland consumption increased by 3.3 % due to the mild economic recovery. This represents 5.6 % above the level in 1990 but 3.6 % below the level in 2005. In the EEA, gross inland consumption increased by 3.6 % in 2010 which is 9.2 % above the level in 1990 and 1.9 % below the level in 2005. In the non-EU EEA countries gross inland consumption increased by 69.4 % between 1990 and 2010.The main reason behind the difference in the trend for this group of countries is as a result of the large increase in gross inland consumption observed in Turkey and to a certain extent in Norway.
Fossil fuels continue to dominate total gross energy consumption in EU-27, but their share is declining: from 83.1 % in 1990 to 76.4 % in 2010. The share of renewable energy sources more than doubled over the period, from 4.3 % in 1990 to 9.8 % in 2010, increasing at an annual rate of 4.5%/year. The annual growth during 2005-2010 has been much quicker at 8.2 %/year. The share of nuclear energy in total gross inland consumption increased slightly, to 13.5% in 2010 from 12.3 % in 1990.

Electricity production by fuel (ENER 027) - Assessment published Aug 2011
-
Fossil
fuels and nuclear energy continue to dominate the fuel mix for electricity
production in EU-27. In 2008, the share in total gross electricity production of
the electricity generated from fossil fuels was 52.9 %, and the share of
nuclear 27.3 %. The electricity generated from renewable sources was 18.0% (in
2008). The total electricity production increased significantly by 31.3 % since
1990, thus offsetting some of the emissions reductions achieved due to fuel
switching from solid fuels to natural gas.
